HOORAY! PROGRESS!!

A while back I posted this and now there is a new update, more than a few of you might be interested in.

Originally posted by selenic76 at New development in content stealing site case.

Apparently behind the content stealing bot there was a human being somewhere who has decided to listen to reason, of sorts. The site now has a complain page.

You can leave a complaint, telling them they have posted your content without permission, and you wish it to be removed. Also, you can tell them not to post any of your content in the future too. But you need to be very specific, and also ask your page and/or your communities to be added to their exclusion list. (Read some of the comments for examples on what to write)

Thank you endeni and ladydragon76 for this information. You can read ladydragon76's comment on the matter over here.

The best thing is, if you really are specific in your request, they seem to be complying!!!

Please spread this information, since they have apparently stolen content from tons of pages. (They even admit it in comment, that since they post stuff from like a thousand pages, they didn't want to take the time to as for everyones permission! They even used Creative Commons licence as an excuse to stealing, even though content needs to be clearly marked for CC before it falls under it. Stupid people are stupid...)

All this being said, I've regained some hope in the world, and just want to shout a big YES to this victory :)

When I went over to check...the muthafucka had reposted one of my personal entries! Not even fic!

Needless to say I left a stinky message asking for it to be removed and all the comms I mod to be added to the exclusion list as well.

It's definitely worth popping over and searching for your journal name to see if any of your stuff has ended up there.

Fucker. x
