Thanks for writing this and doing the work that you do. I also appreciated it when you sent me an email mentioning that a whole web page was poaching and publishing content. Unfortunately theft is rampant in the writing world. I get an email every day informing me of a new pirate web page that is offering a free .pdf of one of my books. It's bad enough when people read your articles and write their own copycat version (which is also plagiarism I might add). To cut and paste an article word for word is shockingly bold. You'd think it would be possible for a program to monitor if an article shared a certain percentage of identical language (without citations), and turn over the earnings of that article to the original author. Again, keep up the good work!
