My hub has been copied on someones blog
Dorsi - this is horrible advice, as I am sure you know.
This is rubbish. Giving away the rights to my writing by doing this would devalue me and my writing.
And every word I wrote in my hub was true. Of course I am aware of hubpages authority. But if you think an article used in an article directory and then published here would compete with my original hub - be my guest. I just wrote that any did nothing else. Which means you are WRONG ! 
Your advice to Dorsi to publish the entire article elsewhere and then publish it here is bad advice for many reasons. Not least of which is the fact that hubpages penalize this.
And as for submitting work to article directories and then competing with them....... I guess this depends on whether you are a writer or an internet marketer. Dorsi was upset that her work was stolen with no credit.
There is more than one way to skin a cat and one of those ways is to write interesting, original, unique content and allow links to grow organically.Like I said - read it and the comments. I have detailed what search terms and the levels of traffic it and the other hubs I wrote around it receive. Not really sure what you are trying to do here. Persuade everyone you are a genius internet marketer with no manners?
That is because they ARE stealing.

I forgot to warn you, Past Me.
You will become a little traumatised after the 'Duck Incident' and suffer bouts of memory loss.
Write everything down on Post-It notes, like the guy out of the film 'Memento.' In fact, tattooing your name across your forehead may be wise.
I had already reported them to Flixya before I posted this, and I deliberately left the actual link so people could see it was a total copy of mine, plus, if they wished, they could leave a comment on the article that was the copy pointing out to her how dispicable it was to copy other people's work. Thanks Marisa for the advice though
Thanks Shirley, that is comforting to know
And adding stupid comments to my hub accusing me of deleting any negative ones is just farcical. If you knew me at all you would know I rarely do that unless the comments are so inane as to not be worth answering. In fact - do a google search for Mark Knowles is a douchebag,and see what you find. I OWN that term
I suggest you reread the ebook that taught you how to successfully market yourself online
And here all along I only thought it was only the theists who were out to get you
- Apparently not. The stupid thing is - he has obviously not read it - or the comments, nor is he aware of the HUGE argument that erupted when I published it and the hub that was written by another hubber telling everyone what a wanker I am.
- We don't hear the term "wanker" here a lot. The first time I heard it, was from an intern at the company I was where working. Evidently while he was on a trip to Europe he and his friends would continuously annoy their English companion just to hear her say "Bloody Wanker".
That sucks - Blogspot should take more responsibility. Mail and faxes cost you money, so their stipulations are unacceptable. They are hosting stolen material, so they should be dancing to your tune - they hope that people do not bother.
I would bypass that and contact them by e-mail - if they are being evasive, send them a cease-and-desist e-mail telling them that unless the blog is taken down within 48 hours, you will be filing a DMCA violation with the search engines and directories. They will crap themselves - Google is draconian when it comes to DMCA violation, however large the website. Don't back down - you are in the right!
That should solve the problem
This lady has a great article - it has all of the templates you need for the various letters and legalese.

Hope that it works - let us know how you get onYup - I realised that later on in the evening. Quite literally, Blogspot is all Greek to me, so it takes me a while to read through things! I eventually found out how to change the language settings.
Folks - this idiot on Blogspot has copied material en-masse from Hubpages. I am going to contact a few of the hubbers involved.
Teresa,
No I don't have an account with them so I woudn't know. It really sucks bigtime doesn't it?
Sufidreamer
Thanks. And you are right, I did some sleuthing myself and found some familiar looking blogs that i think exist here in HP. Now I'm off to determining who to contact in blogspot as their help/support menus do not feature contact information.Looks like you have to go directly to Google, so the letter/fax may be the only way
I sent Hubpages an e-mail - don't know if they can help, but worth a try.

Copyright infringement - This is NOT a complaint; rather a compliment
About once a week I peruse my hubs to check on traffic, comments, and just generally see how things are going. One of my hubs, "What Are The Benefits of Eating Bananas," had the copyright symbol next to it. I know from past experience that this means hubpages has found my content...
