A weird document sharing site has at least one of my hubs, I noticed they seem to have a lot of other hubs. The hubs are available for "download" here. I don't understand the purpose of this site, but I do know it infringes on our copyrights.
docstoc.com/profile/besthubs
It looks to be a fairly innocent site, just a bad uploader.
They have a handy DMCA form you can fill out if you see your work there.
docstoc.com/DMCA/
Oh not again lol. How did you find out?
Melanie, thanks for this. I'm not convinced it's innocent though, since on the hub I've had copied they've gone to the bother of slightly changing it - even though they haven't removed "Melovy all rights reserved."
The changes they've made make no sense either, though some of them are quite amusing, such as, "That's received that pesky human off the beaten track," instead of "That's got that pesky human out of the way." (My copied story is narrated by a cat.)
So, after laughing at their silly spun document, I will file a DMCA. Thanks for the heads up.
List of hubbers whose I've found there (I had nothing better to do today):

Do you think Hubpages should take a harder stance to poorly written hubs?I hop hubs when I can, and find so many that are of poor quality. They have little to no content, or just one long text block. Don't get me started about the spelling or grammar.Should HP take more of a harder...

Yes, I am a new "hubber." I am also a new writer. It has only been a few months since discovering I really enjoy writing on HubPages. My problem is, since I started writing on HubPages I have been a bit, let's just say, OCD when it comes to my spelling and grammar. Before I hit the...

Do hubs with spelling errors make you think less of a hub?Is anyone else distracted by a hub that has decent content but several spelling errors or grammatical errors?
by Movie Whisperer 7 years ago
I have finally published a hub that has been deemed unfeatured. I can only direct my attention to a table I inserted which was long when viewed on the mobile platform. Grammar is checked, titles tweaked, content is solid as its in the same vein as my other articles. Do you think this could be it?...
