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.

PTSD

Angela,

Thank you so much for . The more that people are open and honest about it, the more it is accepted by society in general. It's an illness just like any other, where one needs to take medication to feel better, physically and emotionally.

My best to you!
A.

Kudos

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.
