What do I do if some of my content has been stolen?
-
Two of my posts (at least) have been stolen and reposted as if I write for this blog.
Here is the link to the offending blog. http://schoolofcreativewriting.com/?author=22
The link to my posts (“Sweet Mama (and Me)” has a user comment that informed me of the content theft): http://penwheel.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/mama/ ; http://penwheel.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/sunday-soundtrack/
It seems to be a WordPress blog, but if it isn’t hosted by WordPress, do I have to file the separate complaint outlined in the Stolen Contrnt help page? Thanks.
