Now, I could just behind the technology times and understand it all. So, I humbly ask for kind guidance.
I found stolen material of mine on a site. After hours of looking I finally found an email to sent the complaint to. They are refusing to because they say they are a wiki which means it is up to me to do that and them. Is that right? Do they run a site and refuse to help make it reliable when a situation is brought to their attention? I understand they cannot police everything but ignore it after it has been shown to them?
Thank you for your help.
Rebecca
Rebecca, if it's a wiki, that means you should be able to join the site and remove the material yourself. I think that's what they're trying to tell you.
When I have trouble getting a site user or site owner to take down plagiarized material, I send a DMCA notice of infringement to the the company that is their ISP and I include a short note in with the notice about how whoever it was futher down the chain was unwilling to honor my request to remove the stolen material.
I've almost never, ever had to escalate a takedown notice further than that.
I agree with relache. It works wonders. However, if you have access to their wiki, just make up a fake name or whatever for the info, then I would get it down from that site ASAP. Either that, or I would change it and fill it with links back to my own site. Moo ha ha ha (evil laughter)

These people are really clever and are probably making more money than the whole lot of us put together. This guy has published over 250 of our hubs this year, all stolen from us hard working people.. He is even on Google+ and has had far move views than we can probably ever hope to...

Today was the first time I've actually seen that little red copyright symbol next to one of my hubs. COPIED - What a nasty business. I filed a DMCA form on the offending site which posted my hub as their own back in 2011 on Blogspot. Wonder why it took so long to find the copy.Copycats and scrapers...

I'm wondering this in terms of Hubs being stolen and published elsewhere. Let's say a Hub is stolen, meaning it is copied and published on another site, and you are going to file to have it removed or something along those lines. But let's say you no longer have it published on Hubpages but have...

I checked today on this website and found one of Cardisa's recent salad recipes stolen with a dead link to the hub. It is a summary of the hub. I don't know if anything else can be done. It may take traffic away from our site. I have done what I can. I reported it as spam to Google. and someone...
