Clumsy Rip-Off

[Stella_Omega]

They have everything of mine from the BDSM cat- but not entire stories. they are truncated. I will not PM laurel, as I'm sure she knows to assume that all of her writers are misrepresented there.
But i will email and phone the ISP.

The GB, the AH... and Shang and Stella and Laurel the Tiger woman...

I almost feel sorry for the poor bastards.

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

I'm estimating they have about 80 stories of mine.

I was spared, as far as I can tell, possibly because my stories posted after the great rip off took place.

Or maybe I'm not good enough to steal!

(now THERE is the sign of a truly insecure person).

However, they stepped on my hubby. My wroth will be felt. There will be emailing and phone calling...

It is also terribly entertaining to go down the list of Gay Male stories with the pictures of Titties and Pretty Naked Girls along the side bar.

 

[Stella_Omega]

OPh, I'm so hurt. When I went back to investigate more carefully, I find they only chose two of my stories- both from the BDSM cat, but not all of my BDSM. Who'da thunk they'd be so choosy!

I emailed the ISP, I'm not bothering with the webmaster.

Two of mine are up. Just the first page though.

They have at least one of mine, and not even one of my better ones. I'm not looking further.

It is blatant trademark infringement and I am sure literotica will handle it.

But I really don't think it will damage either literotica or the writers very much.

Remember, if they like our stuff enough to steal it, we must be good.

Bends over to kiss her own ass

They have several of mine, including my copyright statement, but only the first Lit page.

What use is that? Most of my longer stories need more than one Lit page to get to the sex?

That might be true for you, but they stole 'The Worst Chain Story Ever Chapter 01' and only the first page so it ends in the middle of one of my pointless stories. That must confuse the readers.

If all else fails... I have this friend...

Hi All -

This person appears to have two sites at least:

sexeroticstories.org
sexstoryxxx.org

Both of them appear to be ripping off Literotica authors. We sent them several warnings a couple of weeks ago, but it doesn't appear that they took them seriously.

We will turn this over to our lawyer and see how he wants to handle it.

Usually story thieves are smart enough to respond to repeated warnings, but sometimes we have to take the next step.

More fun to come.

 

[sophia jane]

Glad to hear it's being dealt with. Just checked their companion site and all of the same stories are listed there, with at least three more.

Woohoo! Go Manu and Laurel!!

If you guys need any help with the legwork end of things, let me know, I am more than happy to help. I really HATE people messing with my stuff - the reason I chose Literotica in the first place was how beautifully you guys handle things like this. Keep up the good work, oh beloved mods!!

:kissingarse emoticon goes here:

 

[FallingToFly]

Oh hell no!! They stole ABYSS!!!!

Where's rgraham? I want to help him plan how to do a tactical nuclear strike.

 

[Tom Collins]

Does anyone know if carson is aware of the fact that they've nabbed "Whole Heart"? I found it on both sites that Manu listed.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

No one ever bothers to steal my stuff.

I got this email in return- same wording as the others, I suppose;

If you are asking us to take action against the website in question
because you believe that it infringes your copyright, please send us
an official written notice that complies with all of the particulars
for written notice under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
You can send this official notification to me at jeff@dreamhost.com
(inline text only, please).

We will then respond appropriately after reviewing your notice. I'm
sorry we can't be of more immediate assistance to you.

So... where do we find this official wording?

 

[ibhard]

those bastards have my stories too! and, and, and i've never seen any of those naked sluts where i live.

it's a bait and switch scam to get you to visit their so called 'dating' site.

Dunno. I just sent an email listing each story, along with the lit url and date posted and the url from the other site.

 

[FallingToFly]

I read over that DMCA shit... which is what it is. It's a delaying tactic, as the DMCA deals with sftware and music for the most part, not written works.

 

[noxiousblonde]

Found four of mine.

 

[noxiousblonde]

Oops make that 5.

 

[JamesSD]

Finally! I've been ripped off. All the stories thefts in the pasts have carefully excluded my stories. I was so insulted.

I'm in the same boat.
