It isn't fun. You should see what I did to the scraper. lol I recently had someone take the articles that I submitted to directories like Ezinearticles, Searchwarp etc and included them in a PLR package giving away all rights to my articles and at the same time- he made money.

I just discovered a site last night that continually steals my own articles to have content on his site. Yes, I'm guessing he's subscribed to my site via RSS so he can get my content as it comes out, fresh. The nerve! He's steals my posts in chronological order, complete with the pics. The thing is, having had this problem before, I had begun printing my blog's URL across the front of all my pics, figuring that would deter people from stealing. Well, this dummy posts those same pics, with my url on them, so, in any dispute over who's content it really is, he's already shot himself in the foot. He started his blog in February, and has been stealing from me consistently ever since. Oh, and he credits himself as the author of all the content, not one link back to my site. I got his personal info from "whois", sent him an email, a "cease and desist" letter, sent a "take down notice" to his ISP, and also blogged about it on my last blog post, and posted his personal information, including his home address on my blog. I'm sure he'll be tickled and thrilled when he comes to my site and now sees his name, home address, phone# and email in big bold letters on my site. Now, if anyone ever decides to Google his name, my post will come up, and those searching for info on him will know what he did. I have yet to see if any of these tactics are going to have any effect, but I'm not done yet. I will be posting in his comments section on all of my posts with a few choice words. Thanks for the info about contacting the affiliates. I hadn't even thought of that. I will be going there next! Yes, this takes time, effort, energy, and is consuming, but you can't just sit here and let people get away with this. I will never understand why people who have no writing skills, talent or ability decide to have blogs. What idiots! Thanks for your tips! :) I’m glad to hear that your fight against this person was successful. I just discovered a site last night that continually steals my own articles to have content on his site.

I reported them to Google (see Google DMCA) and the pages have been removed. Later (after a few months) I noticed that more people do steal the content... Reported too. Later once again. Then I stopped doing this because I can't spend all days checking which article has been stolen or not. It's too time-consuming. Only one thing as revenge would be fair: Hire "ads clickers" and pay them for clicking on these criminals' ads! I haven't done such a thing yet, but it seems to be the only easy and 100% method to get these retards out of the business.
