Some jerk copied my article

   Firstly I want to thank hubpages for tipping me. I'll deal with the a***le once I get to my laptop (I'm using my smartphone). I found my copied work in an anime website. I'm still thinking if I will warn the copycat in the comment section.
   
   On the bright side I'll take this as a sign that I made a damn good article. Good enough to be stolen.

      Sorry that happened. From experience, I can tell you anime and video game articles are often stolen and posted on sketchy sites. The worst part is when said sites lack contact information or make it needlessly difficult to get in touch.
      
      I remember having to make a free account (using a fake email, of course) for the same site that stole my article just to talk to them about it. Their initial response was to try to bribe me with a share of the profits, which I of course rejected.

         Thanks Jeremy! I checked the site that copied my work. It is a Russian if I remember. But I already informed google about that. Again thanks for the support

      People like the easy way. This has happened with majority of the good HubPages Writers. As you said, take it as a compliment and take necessary steps to get the content removed. By the way, <snipped>

   Be sure to check you tube using similar titles, the name of the anime, etc. A person could have copied your article and made a video about it.
   To get rid of the copied article, you need to file a DCMA.

   Anamika, it's not a good idea to drop links to your own article in a forum thread as it is viewed as self-promotion.
   
   You can always say you have one that may be of interest and anyone who wants to read it can go to your profile.

      @theraggededge I am aware of that. I am not trying to sell anything here. I have used the link because the article has some valuable information.  I have also given information on how to deal with Plagiarism. This article also has a different take on content theft which will get the readers thinking.  You won't be able to see the article on my profile because I have written so many articles after that. But if the Mods want to snip the link, I am okay with it.

         Your article is sort-of on topic for this discussion, but the way you presented it seemed a bit spammy, be careful. I'd go with theraggededge's advice and just mention them in passing in the future.
         
         Also, I'd recommend proofreading and correcting awkward phrases like this part of the title, "Do you write steal worthy content?"
         
         Steal worthy? New one on me.
