sex-stories.co & sweetnsoft.com - two new sites doing mass story steals

[8letters]

I did a search for a line from one of my stories to see if it was published on some other site. The two sites that came back were sex-stories.co and sweetnsoft.com. Both sites look like they steal thousands of stories. Both are hard to search and have no advertising.

If you can find a contact at the sites, you can make a request to have your stories removed. Sometimes it works. Other times, they laugh in your face. Well, actually, they laugh at you in an email. Still, other times, you hear nothing from them. The best bet is if Literotica or one of the other sites you post at, assuming you post at more than one, would contact them.

Or, since it isn't costing you any revenue, you could just be happy that they are getting your work in front of more eyeballs.

Whether it cost you anything or not, they pilfered the work. If they asked me, I'd probably give my permission. However, some of my work appears here and is for sale as well. While the work for sale has professional editing and may have a rewrite, I don't mind if my work appears for free, as long as I'm asked if they can use it. It is no different to me than a neighbor using my water hose to water their lawn with their water. If I'm asked, I'm not fussed about it. If they don't, it's theft even if they returned it, I'm not cool with not being asked when someone wants to use my stuff.

Are they using the same titles too?

sex-stories.co have WHOIS privacy via NameCheap, but they are hosted on DigitalOcean, who have a policy against hosting adult things.

Sweet n Soft, on the other hand, fully expose their WHOIS information, so there's a contact email there. However, their actual host is hidden behind Cloudflare, who do their best not to get caught up in these things.

Small consolation I know, but previously other sites like this have been a display for a web designer's company. They don't appear to be making money off the theft.
