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?

Average Amount of Hours it Takes to Write an Article

I found this question on Absolute Write:

[quote=littlebee;1959632]Hi There!

I’m hoping someone may have some feedback on the average length of time (hrs.) it takes a writer to write a non-fiction article (500 words) that requires research. For instance, I have an assignment to write a short article on a historical figure. Other than the person’s name which I recognize, in order to write a piece on this person, I must read and understand this person’s life.

I’m wondering if it’s better to present a flat-rate vs. a per hour rate to a client. And as a general rule, does one just double the amt. if it’s a 1,000 word article instead (and the increments thereof if one does quote a hourly rate?). Thanks for any feedback and have a super weekend ahead! [/quote]

Time for me varies on the article topic and how much I know before hand and how much research I end up doing.

Ok, 500 words, for a historical figure that I’m well aquanted with (have already studied and researched), would take me about 15 mins to a half hour to write.

But, 500 words for a historical figure, whom I’ve merely heard of, would take me about a week, because I would first Goole to see what other writers are already writing about him; than I’d head to the library and take out as many biographies as possible, usualy 2 adult novel-type bios and 5 or 6 children’s DK or picture book type bios. It would take be a week (maybe two if I found a lot of them) to read those books. After I finished my research, however, again, a 500 word article would take only 15 to 30 mins to write.

Also, I have only heard of being paid on a per word or per assignment basis. Per hour pay is a nice dream, but in the real world, no one wants to pay a writer more than a couple of pennies per word, so pay per hour is out of the question in their minds… I bet they’d demand pay per hour if they were the writer though!

EDIT: Just reading the comments now…

[quote=Billingsgate;1962628]

The trick in this case is to do the proper research, however long it takes to get the facts straight, write the 500 word article and get paid for it, then use the research to write even more articles, each targeted to different publications, focusing on different angles.

….

So use any commissioned work as a springboard for other work. It’s more inspiring to do the research when you know you’ll be getting paid for at least the first article.[/quote]

I totally agree with this. I do the same thing. I often write 10 or 15 articles all at once. Say for the historical figure already mentioned: I’d write the 500 word article, requested, than I write one on his childhood, another on some important event he was involved in, etc. etc.

Usualy the extra articles end up sitting on my harddrive for months and months before I find a use for them, but I almost always find a use for them in the end, so it’s good to write them while the info is fresh in your head, that way you’ll have them on hand in the furtue.

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!

How much time (hours, days, months, or years) does it take you to complete an article, story, book, or novel?

How much time (hours, days, months, or years) does it take you to complete an article, story, book, or novel?

I was just thinking about this and so am writing down a list of times it takes me.

I write almost daily and my topics vary widely.

When I read, I prefer space opera science fiction and murder mystery, but I write neither. When it comes to fiction I write horror, Gothic, and romance. I write mostly shorter stuff (5,000 – 10,000 words), but I do have a couple of novels as well.

Fiction pays very little, however, so in the past couple of years I’ve taken up writing non-fiction as well. I am now also a freelancer writing articles (400 – 2,000 words) on self publishing, marketing, pets, how to write, fashion, gardening, crafts, Wicca, comic books, and any other topic that I feel I could write about if I put my mind to it.

What I enjoy writing most of all though is ballets and stage plays, but as yet I have not been paid for writing these, nor had any produced.

Non-fiction is an article or book that you write about something real: say a book on how to earn money online, or an article about the ten best toys to buy for a Cocker Spaniel.

What you are talking about is writing a story about your life. Writing a story about your life is called autobiography.

Fiction is making things up on a whim, and could be based on your life or not.

Which am I good at? Both fiction and non-fiction. I write short stories 5,000 – 10,000 words each, novels, non-fiction books, but the thing that brings in the most money are non-fiction articles so that is what I write the most of, because I need to at least put food on the table.

I find that writing autobios is very hard, and I have not yet written a story about my life.

But how much time do I aactually spend writing?

It depends on what I am writing. I write both fiction and non-fiction in both short and book length.

For fiction:

A short story (5,000 – 10,000 words) takes me 5 to 8 hours to write.

A short novel or novella (40,000 – 75,000 words) takes me about 25 to 30 days to write.

A full length novel (100,000 – 200,000 words) takes me about 6 months to write.

For non-fiction (not counting the research time):

A short article (400 – 750 words) takes about 3 hours to write.

A long article (1,000 – 3,000 words) takes about 2 days to write.

An essay (5,000 – 10,000 words) takes about a week to write.

A non-fiction book (20,000 – 50,000 words) takes about 5 weeks to write.

All that said, I write mostly shorter stuff (under 10,000 words) so I tend to have something new every couple of weeks.

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!

Know any sites that pay for your writing?

http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=spacedock13-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1582975809&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr

Okay, so I just found this question on MyLot:

Any site that pay for your writing?
vkbllm (354) writing – level 11 3 weeks ago

I’m looking for any site that pay for writing fictional stories or humourous essays or even a blog?
If you know than please do tell me!
Thanks

And since I’ve run into this question dozens of times on other forums, I figure I’ll tell you what I do.

I recomend Squidoo.com, you don’t get paid much at first, but as you gain readers your monthly pais hets higher and higher. I started in April 2007 with 5 stories/articles and got paid .37c my first month. By October of 2007 I had 182 articles published on Squidoo, and was making $10 – $12 per month. Now in January 2008, I still have those same 182 articles and am makeing $35+ per month.

My lower visited articles have yet to make anything at all.

My lowest paying articles, make .07c each, each month.

My low-mid-paying articles make .35c each, each month.

My high-mid-paying articles make .65c each, each month.

My high traffic articles make $4 each, each month.

My top article makes $7.50 each month, has won me 2 awards (including the rare “Giant Squid Award” and the highly coveted “Top 100 Lenses” award, was placed on Squidoo’s homepage for 5 weeks running as one of the highest rated articles ever written on their site, was listed on their top 100 articles list for 5 weeks, and at it’s peak reached #32 on their top articles list. Here it is if you want to see it: http://www.squidoo.com/publishingmethods

As my reader following gets bigger, my monthly pay from Squidoo steadily rises. If it continues to rise at the rate it’s going now, I’ll be bringing in $100 – $200 per month by the end of 2008.

The top writers on Squidoo are currently making $300 – $400 per month. However, there are more than 200,000 wriiters on Squidoo, and from what I understand, more than 70% of them make an average of $2 per month and never see anything higher. Last I heard there were only 54 of us who have ever won the Giant Squid award, and we are also the only ones bringing in a steady income of any great amount.

The secret to becoming a giant squid is to build write over 100 articles and than promote them like crazy on your blog and homepages, to get readers to visit Squidoo and read your articles.

(oh, and you can write either fiction or non-fiction on Squidoo)

Know any sites that pay for your writing?

Okay, so I just found this question on MyLot:

Any site that pay for your writing?
vkbllm (354) writing – level 11 3 weeks ago

I’m looking for any site that pay for writing fictional stories or humourous essays or even a blog?
If you know than please do tell me!
Thanks

And since I’ve run into this question dozens of times on other forums, I figure I’ll tell you what I do.

I recomend Squidoo.com, you don’t get paid much at first, but as you gain readers your monthly pais hets higher and higher. I started in April 2007 with 5 stories/articles and got paid .37c my first month. By October of 2007 I had 182 articles published on Squidoo, and was making $10 – $12 per month. Now in January 2008, I still have those same 182 articles and am makeing $35+ per month.

My lower visited articles have yet to make anything at all.

My lowest paying articles, make .07c each, each month.

My low-mid-paying articles make .35c each, each month.

My high-mid-paying articles make .65c each, each month.

My high traffic articles make $4 each, each month.

My top article makes $7.50 each month, has won me 2 awards (including the rare “Giant Squid Award” and the highly coveted “Top 100 Lenses” award, was placed on Squidoo’s homepage for 5 weeks running as one of the highest rated articles ever written on their site, was listed on their top 100 articles list for 5 weeks, and at it’s peak reached #32 on their top articles list.
