stolen posts?
-
I am confused how this works, but it appears to me that someone is copying my posts to their own blog and translating it to another language (call me ignorant but I have no idea what language it is). Is there a way I can protect my posts? I’m fine with reblogging- but I obviously can’t read it and don’t know if they are stealing my posts or not. I guess I’m saying I don’t know if I should be annoyed or flattered:

You can also take those sets of links you jsut gave us and go to that blog, under the blog name hover your cursor and you’ll see a dropdown menu that includes “report spam.” Report it and include all those links so staff can see. They take such things seriously.

you should be annoyed & not flattered. i suggest you report them. they’ve posted your vacation pictures….. & seem to pass it off as their own. but i don’t speak Indonesian either

It is Indonesian language. I’m an Indonesian. And looks like that blog re-post/re-blog from many other blogs/sources without their permission. I’ve been searching a way to be able to contact him/her. But seems like the only way to do that is to put my comment there. Mark it as spam, report it.

@ beautifullifeandstyle
FYI, except for your post about “rollercoaster” (yes, that is a stolen post)
http://tonti4u.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/secret-of-the-sea/ is not the same post as http://beautifullifeandstyle.com/2011/11/11/secret-of-the-sea/ it only has the same title. -
Thanks everyone for your input.
I did contact wordpress by reporting spam, but there is a second step: a really long, legally binding form to fill out for reporting copyright issues. To save myself the trouble, I first tried commenting on the “secret of the sea” post since that was the only post that used my personal photography (rather than just my text/ideas/ grouping of images from other sources) and asked them to remove the pictures. Looks like they did. So for now I respect that and I think I will leave the situation where it is. -

I’m happy to hear your stolen content has been removed. Best wishes with your blogging.
