What is the Hubpages team doing about this plagiarism situation?
Have they said anything? Have they done anything?
On this site, as clearly stated in the Terms of Use, each author retains full rights to the written content they create. Because of this, it is the author's job to defend their own copyrights, not the responsibility of HubPages.
They have helpful information in the Learning Center which talks about how an author can defend their work but HubPages doesn't actually have any legal rights or responsibilities when it comes to defending writing that is not owned by the site itself.
There are some helpful sites mentioned in this article:

On an individual hub basis, I don't think HubPages has any responsibility. If asked in a courtroom, I'm sure they would provide the original publication date of your hubs, but they aren't going to search the internet for duplicates. Having said that, from what I understand this ezine site, or whatever it's called, is stealing in massive numbers. So I feel like the admins of HubPages should weigh in. Plagiarism on this scale is going to hurt them as much as it hurts us.

For several months now (almost since I joined hubpages) I have been getting harassing, threatening and ridiculous comments from the same person. I originally encountered her in a forum, and she has not left me alone since. She repeatedly leaves me harassing fan mail, none of which has...
