This Site is Not Secure - Theft is Mounting
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:29 am
I have loved writing for constant-content for the last two years and have sold the majority of the articles that I have posted for sale here. Unfortunately, I must move away from this site until the theft problem is addressed by this administration.
I have always experienced the occasional stolen article but, recently, things have really gotten out of control. I just finished filing DMCA claims and removed 6 thefts last week, only to find 2 more today. These were some of my best remaining articles, and this is just too disheartening to continue at this time. Since May, I have had a total of 12 articles stolen, and some of these were posted so many times that I cannot even sell them for usage now.
I encourage all writers here to join copyscape, if you haven't already. For a few pennies a search, it is well worth it.
Though I know some writers here have had success posting just a portion of their text, this has not worked well for me in the past. I have always posted the full article in good faith, and my sales were much stronger for this.
I truly have enjoyed this site and have always found the editors to be fair and concise. Constant-content attracts some of the best, brightest writers on the web, and I will sorely miss being a part of this esteemed group.
I will leave all stolen content on here for verification and remove any articles that still have potential for sale elsewhere. I hope, in time, to return, and I will continue to check the forum for updates on this issue.
