Anyone else finding their stories reposted elsewhere?

[Mello_SixtyNine]

I decided to do some google searches of my stories that I've posted on Lit & found out that someone had posted one of my stories (5th Anniversary to Remember) here:

http://adultstory.xaijo.com/story/5thanniversarytoremember

It might be a good idea for other authors to check to see if their stories were reposted elsewhere. Last year, I found out that some asshole stole all four of my stories & posted them as his own on Xhamster.com. I got them taken down & now I periodically check to see if he still does it.

It happens all the time. I check every few months and always find my stuff on oddball sites around the web.

Mine end up everywhere. If I search for 'Copyright Oggbashan' I get thousands of hits.

But many of the sites have not taken the whole story. They have harvested masses of random words to fill out a site crammed with viruses.

None of my stories feature 'Anal Fisting Japanese Teens' so why do they want my work?

They don't? You're dropping the ball ... pick it up, man, and get to it!

That Adultstories site has made the rounds...started in California, the to Hong Kong, now it looks like it's in Australia. He just puts up the site to get clicks on the adds and the popups. He usually only takes the first page.

Not being a praticularly prolific author, I'd like to know HOW to test if anything has spread from Lit.
I did put half a paragraph into Google, but Google now restricts the number of words, apparently.

A dozen words in a specific sequence should be enough. Surround the sequence in quotes to force the search as text only for all words in that order. Don't bother with titles or proper names as these are the easiest to change with global match/replace (some thieves take some measures to cover their tracks.) Have at least two or three less-common words. Spanning over a end-of-sentence period helps. Chose from the story beginning to increase probability of matching in previews.

For example, if I Google "neither had he plowed other furrows. I had only facilitated", I get only one match, that of my story here on Lit.

I just copied the first 1 or 2 sentences of my story & then pasted it into Google.

Just checked. He did only take the first page. Why would anyone keep coming back to that site if they only have the beginnings of stories?

That happens with hundreds of sites. I think they have an autobot trawler that grabs at random to provide content. Sometimes it's the first A4 page; sometimes the first Lit page.
