A Blog Hosted By Google Stole My Copyrighted Material!

NOTE: We made a mistake with the link in today's email. The success story is here.


Dear Angela,

I was immediately drawn to this warning. I recently found an article of mine on a blog located at blogspot.com. The title was changed but the rest was verbatim, with no credit to me, the copyright holder, or the magazine it appeared in, and certainly no permission from me. (There were other articles from this same magazine on the site.)

This "blogspot.com" seems to be powered or hosted by something called "Blogger," but I can't find a link anywhere on their site to complain about copyright infringement. On top of that, it appears the blogger makes money from advertising clicks. Have any suggestions how to stop this?

Thanks,
S.
