I get so endlessly tired of people taking my work and using my words to build up their webpages. I guess they don’t even take into account that it is stealing. Even if the article, story, poem what-have-you appears on the Internet, it DOES NOT give anyone the right to take that author’s work and place it on their website.

Google Alert has notified me that one website is using over a dozen of my articles to start their own site. I contacted the webmaster via email and requested that the articles be taken off at once. So far, I have heard nothing back from them. The site is pretty rinky-dink so suspect a child might be involved in the construction of it and it is swimming with Google ads. It just makes me tired to have done all this work and research, crafted some good articles only to have them be pirated copyright or not.
