Plagiarism Update: Sent Report To WordPress

Plagiarism Update: Sent Report To WordPress

I have just sent a report on this evil thief’s activities to WordPress. I urge anyone with the sewing related WordPress blog to look at the thief’s blog and see if your posts are being stolen. If they are, please send a report to WordPress as well. If there is a way to identify this plager and send them to jail, let me know, because I will pursue that course of action. As an author I take plagiarism very seriously, and so should you. Well, at least they chose the right name for their blog: Scum Bag Clothing. I can’t think of anything that makes a person more of a scumbag than being a thief.

Here is a copy of the letter I sent to WordPress:

Posts off of more than 30 different WordPress blogs (all sewing topics) are being copied and posted word for word, picture for picture, on someone else’s blog!

I use CopyScape on my posts, and CopyScape notified me that my posts were being copied and distributed on someone else’s blog without my permission, so I went to their blog to check and CopyScape was right. They copied everything, word for word, picture for picture… even the CopyScape plagiarizing warning gif!

Because they are copying posts off of my sewing blog, so I started checking all the other posts on their blog, and they’ve plagiarized every single post on their blog, by stealing posts and pictures off of other people’s blogs! I’ve only checked the posts for Jun so far, but so far I’ve counted over 30 different WordPress blogs from which they are stealing posts and hotlinking images from!

Here is their blog link:

http://www.scumbagclothing.com/category/dressmaking/

I don’t know how to stop them. I’ve been trying to find a way to notify their blog host, but so far have not had any luck. If you know of a way to stop them from stealing the posts off of our blogs, please let me know, cause I don’t like them claiming that they wrote the articles I wrote. They are even displaying my drawings on their blog and claiming they drew them!

Sorry for the rant, but I thought you’d want to know that they’ve been stealing posts and passing them off as theirs.

This is so frustrating. I put so much work into writing my articles and drawing my artwork, and I know other folks do as well. It’d be one thing if they were linking back to our blogs with a review or something, but they are claiming that they wrote all of these posts and drew all of the art and took all of the photos themselves!

Is there a law enforcement agency I can contact about this? I was told that the FBI had an identity theft division that handles online predators that steal other peoples identities. Should I contact the FBI about this? I mean who ever is running this blog is claiming to be me, by saying they wrote those articles, so that’s identity theft as far as I can tell.

What should I do?

Is there anything that you can do about it, since they are stealing posts off of WordPress blogs?

Vanished Vet Account???? WTH?

I am so pissed off right now. All of my medical records have some how vanished off the doctors computer system and they are telling me that because I’m not on the computer, I was never a patient! For the past 20 odd years I (my pets) have gone to the Mann Memorial Clinic for Animals Route 1 at Arundel Kennebunk, ME. OVER TWENTY YEARS! Get that… 20 years, that is important to remember. This vet, however is more than an hours drive from my house. Last year a new vet opened up just a 15 min drive from our house, so I figure, I’ll switch my vet. In a medical emergancy 1 hour and 20 mins, verses 15 mins, can make a big differance. It’s to our advantage to go to a local vet.

Okay, here’s the thing. You guys know how many animals I have right? In the past 30 years I have had over 500 pets. FIVE HUNDRED PETS. That’s a lot of vet visits each year. I currently have just under 100 pets, including 9 cats and 1 dog. That dog, Buddy, has gone to the Mann vet twice a year every year for the past 10 years… that’s 20 visits to the vet, for just that one dog… and my other pets have been going to Mann regular as well.

Here’s the thing:

Today, I called the new vet to make Buddy an apointmet, the new vet asked me to have Mann fax them Buddy’s records. Okay. So I call Mann and ask them to send Buddy’s records, and get this: They tell me that they have no record of a Wendy Allen or a Buddy Allen ever being a patient there!!!! I was on the phone with the bitchiest desk girl I’ve ever talked to, for more than 2 hours, while she yelled at me, and accused me of lieing and said that I had never been to that vet before in my life!!!

She told me that they never delete their records, so she KNEW FOR A FACT that I had never been to their office! How the hell do you lose a 20 year old medical file… can you imagine how huge a file we must have… me going there for 20 odd years with so many pets? How can they lose something like that and not notice it?

OMG… me and my 500 pets, not going to their office anymore is going to take one hell of a bite out of their yearly income, that’s for sure…. mabey they can’t find me on their records, but they sure are going to notice a huge drop in the patients they have coming in now.

I couldn’t believe it! I was going to them for more than 20 years! She tells me, that the computer system doesn’t lie, that I’m not in it. I was in their system, a good 5 years before they even had computers in their office!

Has anyone else ever had anything like this happen to them?

What’s your take on this? I’d love to hear what you have to say about this post. Leave a comment and share your views!
