Okay, before a bunch of Article King authors come down too hard on me, let me say that I have read through some of the articles on Article King and found useful and informative pieces. Hopefully, unlike a couple of my articles that have been stolen they were posted by the original authors. To the creators of the website Article King: If you've a link for us to contact you, my apologies, I have scoured your site from front to back and side to side without finding it. I've registered as an "author" there, even though I have no intention of writing for your publication, just in the hopes that I would glean some information on how to stop the plagiarism of my articles on your site. I would never write for a site that makes it that difficult to find contact information and has very little in the way of support for authors. If anyone has managed to find the contact information for this site please send me an e-mail: nawinter77@gmail.com ... I'd really appreciate it.

Article King isn't the only site I've noticed my writing being consistently ripped off on, though. Also there is Bukisa... every time I've contacted them they have taken the link off the web within a matter of hours, however. That is the kind of response you want to see from the DMCA team at a blogging site. On Hub Pages plagiarism is taken really seriously, which is one of the things I really like about writing here.

What I don't understand, (yeah, I realize this is turning into a full-out rant, sorry,) is *why* somebody would feel the need to steal work off of somebody's blog. I mean, seriously, you're that lazy? There's nothing more disturbing than to find your childhood memories or other personal experiences being written by another "author." It's creepy!

I'd like to hear from you guys. You Tweeter's, YouTuber's, Hubbers, Squidoo'ers and more... where has your work turned up unexpectedly? What have you been able to do about it? Please leave some comments about this, since starting to write for Hub Pages it's become a topic I've gained interest in, and I'd love to hear from ya'all about this subject!

Who would I really like to hear from though? The "&*%&%^*&!" who keep stealing people's work.... post yourself anonymously, miscreants, tell us why you feel the need to take credit for the hard work of others... (Or in my case, the not - so - hard - work...) Inquiring minds would really like to know.
