Plagiarism Again...

[Passionnee]

Hello All,

I was bored tonight and decided to go on a witch hunt, and guess what I hit the jackpot.

I found someone under the nickname Sexual D'Light, plagiarized at least 3 stories from the lit site. I suspect that others may come from here or other sites. Be aware she sometimes changes the Title of the Story, you must read the content. Go check it out.

The stories that I found plagiarized so far :

1) First Meeting from Selias. She changed the title to Online Love.

2) Her First Lesson from Lace. Same title.

3) 3 Sluts on the Night Shift by English Bob. Same title

I posted this on the General Board too..

It would seem that OpenDiaries,com needs to enforce it's rules a little more tightly.

Aside from the plagiarism issue, every story on that site vilates their "R-rated is OK, X-rated is not" policy.

JOIN THE ANTI-PLAGIARISM POSSE GANG

Passionnee and I, along with a handful of other Literoticans, have gone to that website and stressed our piece on its Message Board. I'm sure that when enough of the visitors read them, that site will be given its last rights on the internet. It would be great if all of our fellow Literoticans would join in our self proclaimed "ANTI-PLAGIARISM POSSE". Or should Laurel deputised us as the "LITEROTICA LAW ENFORCERS"?

Teaching a pig to sing...

I know it's annoying as hell to have your work stolen and then pitched on another site. I've been through it myself over the years, even gone to court over one particularly valuable photograph that was "appropriated" by a major newspaper syndicate. I won, but I lost. It wasted a lot of time, cost loads in legal fees, and after all was said and done the damage was done.

You can spend a lot of time tracking down the culprits, but the very thing that makes the Web so great also makes it impossible to really do anything about it. They change their name, change their site, go somewhere else. Chasing them down is like teaching a pig to sing...it wastes your time and annoys the pig. Except, in this case, they probably enjoy watching you rant and rave. Why give them the satisfaction?

Wouldn't you really rather spend your time writing and reading good erotica?
