Stolen Articles

Post by dsletten »

Hi all,

I just found two of my articles that have been stolen at this page on Associated Content. http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/4 ... _paul.html

You may want to check to see if any of you have stolen content on this too. I will be contacting support about mine.

Hi Deanna,

Thanks so much for the heads up. I didn't find any of mine, but I did see lots that were from CC! I think ALL of the articles from this author were stolen from CC. I found one from one of my affiliates and passed on the news, so she could contact Support about it too. Her article only had the excerpt from the long summary - not the whole article, but still more than enough to cause problems in selling the article again to anyone else. Her article had only ever been posted to CC and had not yet sold!

Arrgghh! It is so annoying to find our hard work stolen from this site. Hopefully, Support will be able to get all these articles OFF the AC site straight away!

Thanks for sharing the information.

Kind regards,

Hayley

I hate that this continues to be a problem. Grrrrr. None of mine there but it still annoys. Plagiarists suck!

I'm glad I could help. I found mine by accident. I am very frustrated about this too. Over the past two years I have had several articles stolen and it lowers the chance of selling them for full rights. I hope CC can find a way to put a stop to this. I agree with Celeste, Grrr!
