I just found my aritcle copied and pasted onto someone elses blog on a created social network that is a subdomain of ning.com

Any advice or thoughts would be appreicaited.

I notified the poster, as well as ning.com and requested it be removed.

Thanks,

    go leave a public comment on it, stating how you apprieciate their "flattery" and to not do it again.

    Any chance of seeing the place so we can see if anyone else has anything copied

    It was brand new with only a few posts, mine was the only real article. On top of that it was a new "swinger social network", which my material fits well into.

    The good new is,

    I just checked it again, and the post is gone. I think it probably was just someone who did not realize that was a "no no"

    My concern was someone yesterday was promoting a new socail media site on here that was a subdomain of ning.com as well. I hope it is just a coincedence, but a little curious.

    Thanks guys!

    Some people also do not know any better. When I go the internet I never knew you can't copy and past articles and put them on your site or blog. In the 1990s everyone was copying articles and posts people wrote and putting them on their websites. It was a free-for-all. Pictures were also copied.

      Hey AmyOops... what is the proper way to use someone else's article and then jump to them with the rest of it? People do that with mine all the time and I get a ping back. I want to pull in some scientific articles and link back to the site, but don't now how. Do I just have to copy/paste and insert a hyperlink like "click here to read full article" or what?
