Stolen articles at Articlet.com

Post by jak »

I found one of mine there under the byline Jack Black. (I'm sure that name has come up before in relation to stolen articles) I also noted another CC piece which was a review of the movie about the Stone Family.

I've emailed the site and copied CC support. I actually suspect this site is full of stolen articles because there seem to be very few authors, all with dubious names and very prolific on a multitude of subjects. I suggested that they ban Jack Black and mentioned that if they did they'd lose much of their content.

I await developments but would be interested to know if anyone here knows anything about the site.

Jack Black has stolen quite a few of mine in the past. The site owners took down the stolen content quite fast, actually. I'm just surprised they didn't ban the author outright. Here's hoping they take your suggestion.

And I wouldn't be surprised if every article on the site was stolen. I like how on the home page, it says they accept ONLY original content - what a joke!
