Jesse, are we talking about the same domain – the one in the screenshot above? Because I don’t see any works of others anymore. Of course, it’s each to their own, when it comes to protecting one’s works, although once a site is tagged as a repository of stolen works, the web host will maximize the penalty it would impose.

I guess I should have phrased that comment differently. It looks like it worked for you lol.. but the content they have on there seems to all be from other sources (they have a short notice above each post)

I personally despise those type of sites, so I tend to get a little worked up over this..

Jesse – it worked just fine. They removed my content and eventually the content of others. That’s the idea behind a DMCA notice: to remove unauthorized work or to be shut down until it’s done

Looks like this didn’t work too well, the site is back up and still posting full content.

Acro,

Thanks for the detailed instructions and sample letter. I’ve marked it as fave in case it’s needed to be referenced future.

Here’s a site that Arbel had on one of his post, checks for plagiarism

Nice job acting on this and offering up the free letter.

I do not mind excerpts and recently killed a whole site to move to excerpts but full content is NOT GOOD.

Keep up the good fight.
