   Hi,
   
   I just noticed  that a user, 'Piotrmak Marko' (@piotrmak) has copied and published my article on the Medium website!
   
   What can I do?
   
   Also, the 'Medium' article is higher in the search results than my 'Hubpages' article!
   
   
   This is the (my) article in question. https://discover.hubpages.com/education … le-Mislead
   
   The image is of his profile page.

   Hi, and big THANKS Raggededge for that. BTW, I've just found out of the closure of this site. But I will do as you suggested so when I re-upload the article in question to my blog, it won't be flagged as plagerised.
   
   Al the best for you and everyone one else here in hubpages including the newbies, oldies and OG's.
   
   T.S.

      If you are planning to republish your HubPages articles elsewhere, I'd recommend filing a DMCA against an article on Owlcation. Honestly, I'd do it regardless, but I understand some author's hesitations.
      
      Whoever the Owlcation Editors are, they created a derivate work of your Cockney Rhyming Slang A to Z article. Owlcation has posted close to 300 derivative works from Discover content created by HubPages authors and posted these "new" articles under different author names.
      
      Since the work is a derivative of your original, it does not matter how similar the content is. Several authors have been successful in getting these types of articles removed by filing DMCAs to dmca@thearenagroup. net.
