  Hi!!

  I have a blog here which I have started just last month. Today I publish a small blogpost on a ring of stars (http://mysteriumcosmographicum.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/a-ring-made-of-stars/) and just three hours after that, some idiot copies the whole thing word to word from my blog and posts it as his own (http://abhimanyucool.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/a-ring-made-of-stars/). Should I have some kind of Copyright or something to prevent this from happening???

  Thank you so much for the reply! :) I have asked him to remove it from his blog and not to do that again. Waiting for him to reply or act on it. Otherwise will report, anyways the blog is on wordpress…
