I've Been Plagiarized

[Svedish_Chef]

GOOOD!

 

[CreamyLady]

I got the same email, about the diary being removed. It's nice to know we can all circle the wagons, isn't it?

Story Thief

Hi Dix, sorry this happened to you.

As Ksss said, the CM's will watch for this idiot in chat. If we find her and grab an isp, she is history.

I don't know if the BB and the stories will be blocked as well but it may work.

Final thought Dix, abuse@aol just may want to know about this too. We have her e-mail, and proof of what she did.
Write them a short note, maybe she'll get a real surprize when she tries to sign on.

Loco

PS You want some of this white stuff?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

No white stuff for me Loco! Thanks for asking. I'm still chilly from that photo you sent one Winter day.

I got the same e-mial from OpenDiary. Apparently the stolen story site has been taken down. Woo-Hoo! Here's the e-mail I got:

Mr. Lee,

Thanks very much for letting us know about this - we of course do not allow this sort of behaviour on our site. The diary has been deleted. We also received many e-mails from fans of your writing who were concerned about this.

The OD Staff

So, you all did it! Thanks kids. Makes you feel kinda' powerful, don't it? Who should we take down next? E-Bay? Who's with me? WHO'S WITH ME? Once more unto the breach! Ahhhhhhh!

Sorry, I'm reading "Henry V" right now and I'm getting all misty-militant.

Again, thanks all.

So, you all did it! Thanks kids. Makes you feel kinda' powerful, don't it? Who should we take down next? E-Bay?

Again, thanks all.

No not ebay, not yet I have some bids that I am about to win, lets wait until next week for that one.

You are welcome DCL, that really ticked me off that she would do that.

 

[Bobtoad777]

man i got the exact same letter, you think for something as serious as this they would not use form letters

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

My letter was actually longer Bob, but it involved some questions I had about their site which is of no interest to anyone here. And I'm fine with a form letter. If you can say what you have to say in two sentences, why re-write it for everyone? I'm just impressed that they got the site down so fast, I know it's because you all sent in those cards and letters.

Now -- let's see if Horny Stupid Gurl writes me back. THAT'S sure to be a blast.

 

[Bobtoad777]

please keep us appraised of the communication you have with her

 

[Samuari]

I'm impressed

Apparently they sent that acknowaldgement to all of us that complained. More than I expected.

 

[Sammyjo]

Woo-hoo...I knew we could do it!! Sort of makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Everyone here came together to stick up for one of our own.

 

[*Eve*]

I made sure to send a letter to them, that is so incredible. I trust this site so implicitely that I never thought I'd have to watch out for the other sites. How hope you gave her more than just stern words DCL.

 

[SimplySouthern]

Holy shit.

Wow. I just can't believe this. I have alwyas been a little shy about letitng other people read my work, mainly becuase I consider it so personal to me that I am sure I would be very offended if someone were to criticize it harshly. However, after seeing this, I would have to think twice about posting my work anywhere lest it be stolen by NaKeDhOrNyBLoNdGuRl. Who knows about people anymore?

Wrote a nice letter to several people about little Ms. Steal-a-Story. Hope you don't mind. I also have a firend that works for AOL who says that you should definately contact them about this. If you can back this up or if the website is willing to lend credibility to what you say...they will take action.

Best of luck!

 

[Thumper]

She will...

Now -- let's see if Horny Stupid Gurl writes me back. THAT'S sure to be a blast.

Just as soon as she finds an email to DCL from someone else that she can copy...

Now..who to take down next...MTV?...Rush Limbaugh?...The vast right wing conspiracy, or the JBTs of the New Socialist World Order?...Laura Schlessinger?

So many targets..

 

[SimplySouthern]

Did Thumper say something about going down? ME...me me meme. Please please let it be me.

 

[Ticklish Girl]

I've got a beef with the gas company. Any takers?

 

[KristyGrl]

Glad that I could be of help Dixon, have to say though it wouldnt surprise me if other 'sex' diaries on OD dont have an element of plagarism too, although there are many that appear original (or at least theyre obviously one authors writing style,) and are really very good

Anyway glad the little crusade worked out for the best,
Kristy (the lurker )

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Kristy, for those of you who missed it, is the whistleblower. Thanks again, Kristy. Don't lurk so much. Come on in out of the cold.

 

[Guest]

I just looked up the perpetrator's profile on AOL. Go check it out if you want a good laugh. God! she's immature. BTW, it says she is a high school student...which leads me to belive that she is not of age.

 

[ShyGuy68]

Ok where did you find the AOL profile litgirl??

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Here’s just a part of the e-mail I sent to the person who stole the Lit stories:

Kindly explain why my story "Teaching Patti" appears on your Open Diary site:

1) Without my name as author
2) With a section claiming that YOU'VE written all the stories on your site

Here’s the response I got today:

I'm sorry if I didn't see that. It should be changed right away.Sorry it took so long to respond, but I was out of town. Have a good new year.

?«-° Naughty Babe °-»?

Here’s what I wrote back today:

To: naughtyblondbabe@aol.com
From: dcl@literotica.org
Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 15:07:16
Subject: Re: Teaching Patti -- Stolen

Didn't "see" that? You took my story and the stories of several other others and posted them on the Open Diary site as your own (as Horny & Sexy Gurl) and told everyone tht you'd written them. How could you not "see" that? What did you do, steal the stories in your sleep?

Don't worry about "changing" anything. About a hundred complaints were issued to Open Diary from Literotica members, and Open diary has taken your site down.I'm still curious as to why you did this.

I sent another e-mail mentioning that it has been recommended to me to complain to AOL.

I wonder if TWO people are involved here? NaughtyBlondBabe and Horny & Sexy Gurl, though both handles are equally dumb enough to be from the same person.

 

[Katerina Val-Kyrie]

Hey Dixon. I too, had my say on her diary board. I just had to support of of the most respected Literotica board members after all. Just wanted you to know...

Hugs Katerina

 

[Ksss]

Darnit...I just went back to copy & paste the AOL profile for NaughtyBlondBabe and the person's profile is no longer available. I sorry, should have done it before.

 

[Loco]

Damn kids!!

This one is a poster child for retro-active abortions.

Dix, complain to aol, please. If she is a minor they'll let her parents know she's in adult sites.

Maybe they'll exercise some parental "authority"

(for y'all that don't understand that, it means whomp her ass)

 

[Whispersecret]

In case people didn't see the Nominations thread, Deb was outlining how some stories have been taking apparently inexplicable nosedives in voting lately, "Teaching Patti" among them.

I was wondering how many people who stood up for Dixon on this issue and who also have stories/poems posted here, have seen a similar plummeting of their stuff on the Top Lists? My story, "Hostile Takeover" did, which I didn't realize until Deborah pointed out that it had been #16 a little while ago. I hadn't even realized it made the list again since the site makeover, and now it's so far down I couldn't even find it.

Is there a correlation? Could StUpIdChIcK be wreaking her revenge? Does she live in Florida?
