Hey again ya'll.

I just wanted to ask if any of you have ever had any success
in getting people to remove unauthorized appropriations of your
work from their websites. I know this has happened to a lot of us,
it's kind of expected, etc- and I've been less choleric about it in
the past, but now that my story could conceivably be published in
a print anthology I'm not particularly warmed to the bottom of my
dark little heart that certain gay porn entrepaneurs have co-opted
my intellectual property as ad copy.

Any thoughts? I emailed the Webmaster. If he doesn't respond I
guess I'll contact the ISP. If I can't get through to them I suppose
it's lawyer time.

I know this has happened to some of you. What luck?

It has not happened to me as yet. But as a lawyer in real life (albeit not an IP lawyer) I can say that you should not make any threats of legal action lightly. So many people bandy around the notion of suing someone else so easily that it has lost a lot of the effect it once had. If you are going to go to that extreme you should consult an IP lawyer before hand. Get them to draft the letter to the webmaster and the ISP and that will normally knock a few heads into action .....
 
It has happened to me four times -

PM Laurel.

Send her all of the information, including links.

She will contact the site owners and that tends to get action. Sometimes the owners are not even aware that the stories or ad copy used on their sites is stolen material.

Laurel resolved my problems fairly quickly each time. Of course, I haven't searched for stolen stories for a few months. Let's see what I come up with when I do!

:rose:
 
Hi Mlle, good to see you again!

I just want to repeat what Sweetsub said. I've had an experience of my stories being ripped from Lit. I followed the same action as Sarah, with the same results.

Laurel is very hot with this kind of thing.

Lou :rose:
 
Just did a google search on 'oggbashan'.

Turned up 96 entries most on pay for view sites. Those paying will be disappointed because most of the stories pirated have no relevance to their theme. I don't write about 'anal teens' or 'Vietnamese slut-girls'.

The only one I noticed on a free site is one I allowed the owner to use because he asked nicely.

One point - I found them because I include my copyright details at the start of most of my stories. There could be hundreds of copies of my stories out there from which the copyright detail has been stripped. I'll try searching for my titles and see what turns up.

Og

PS. Didn't know I was so popular. Doesn't show in the votes.
 
Og -

I usually search for more than title and my name (I know the jerks who steal often change the story titles and dump author names.)

I take an unusual sentence or group of sentences, put them inside quotes, and then google the entire thing.

(per Killer Muffin's suggestion two years ago)

It works very well.

:)

Nico- :rose:

I remember we talked about this exact same thing a few months ago, so you know what I think. I just want to say, 'Fuck, it's good to see you around here again.' :D
 
I have had enough trouble just searching for titles.

I found some of my latest stories on a pay site.

It tried to infect me with a virus, convert my ISP to its own, and download a lot of junk.

I've just finished sorting out the mess.

Og
 
Actually, that is very disturbing. Kind of "we shall assimilate you" creepy.

The last place I found something of mine was a pay site, as well. It wouldn't let me in but the "free preview" offered one of my stories as ad copy bait.

Humph.


(Whattya doing surfing porn sites anyway, Og???) :D

Me, too!

I would like to echo what some have said, Laurel is your best recourse. She has taken care of my problems with this in an extremely efficient manner. And she is really nice and helpful too, which helps a lot when you are upset.

-Colly
 
Spoke too soon.

It took another 2 hours to sort out the mess that site had made of my system despite anti-virus; anti-spyware etc.

Og
 
Personally, I'm a bit pissed off. Mlle goes away for ages then she comes back only to ask for help. Does she ask how Trova's doing?!

&$+<$*&^@)^$#!!!,

Perdita
 
Ahi me! Ahi me.

Seusiniho, Trova, dearest. How are you?

I think my egregious faux-pas came about purely because you have been
at the absolute forefront of my mind of late, every single day...I am in earnest-

you see, I'm interning at the Opera, in the PR dept. this summer, for a little
resume padding- and we're gearing up for The Cycle which dare not speak its name.
Not only that, but right now we're going into Lohengrin. So there you are; I've
been thinking of you nonstop *laugh*

I'm also thinking of you when I get my front row "Friend of Management" comp tickets.


:nana:

God I've missed that thing.

Lauren, Victor loves you. He's just bad at writing letters.

mlle

By the by- thanks Lou, Fly, Sarah, Colleen et al. It's good to know
other people get irked by the same things I do.

I used to get cheap front row tickets in London in the 1960s for opera and ballet.

The front row was too close and sometimes destroyed the illusion. It was also a place to be seen by the cast.

One week I went to all the performances of 'Samson and Delilah' with a different young lady each time. (They came for a free evening out with no strings attached).

At the third performance, during the orgy in the temple, as he was simulating coition with a lady who was clad in a flesh coloured bodysuit, one of the cast asked me in a whisper 'Who will it be next time?".

Could have been very embarrassing except that all the young ladies were friends and office colleagues. They all knew that each had been. or was going, to the opera with me. None of the men wanted to come even if offered two tickets.

I enjoyed the front row for about six years. The company seemed to enjoy guessing who I'd bring. I suppose six simulated orgies a week got boring.

Everytime you tell stories like this, Ogg, I wish I'd known you then.
