Site User Stole My Content!
Regarding last week's Ask The Expert.
I had a similar situation. I found that part of my online serial book, http://www.glamroad.com, had been copied by a MySpace user. Although I was flattered (imitation is the sincerest form), I didn't want her claiming it as her own. I found out it was a teenager and posted a comment on her blog and sent her a private message, which is allowed if you sign up for a free MySpace account. Funny how quickly words like "copyright infringement" can get a teenager to act. My friend who is a teacher suggested I should also contact her school, but I didn't take it that far. I did e-mail MySpace directly but never heard from them.

Dear Angela,
Just a short note to let you know my check arrived today. Thank you so much. I wish all publishers were as conscientious as you. It would make the writer's life much easier.
Thanks again,
K.
