I know that sites mine okp and other message boards for material but they normally change it enough where they just don't copy and paste it directly with no modification at all.
I've emailed the site tweeted them, commented in the article comments and facebooked them to tell them to take my writing down or pay me. They haven't gotten back to me.
It's not so some kinda lifes work type shit, it's a quick silly paragraph but none the less it's they are still getting clicks off of it and didn't even give me a credit.

I know some of y'all have been through this before. What did you do?

And they were copying work I'd already willingly been posting on rateyourmusic.com so in effect I was already keeping another website in business with my work anyway.


I don't know that it happened in any other capacity other than a blurb popping up on QN5's page for Cunninlynguist's Strange Journey Vol. 1 but in that case I was just flattered. I never came across my PopMatters work anywhere besides the Metacritic blurbs and wikipedia citations.


But if it had been a more reputable site I'd likely have gone for the DMCA unless they were willing to pay for future work. I wouldn't necessarily expect them to pay for quoting past writing of mine, though. Just acknowledge that they liked it and would like original work of mine in the future.


Actually, I'm probably talking out of my ass. I was just 23-25 then so I wouldn't have had the business sense to even think of that, lol.

If all else fails, maybe some screencaps @them?

Shame the writer by exposing them.

Shame the site by exposing them repeatedly on social media going so far as to create IG pages and facebook accounts.

Send evidence to podcasts like the TBGWT so they can get in on the fuckery.

Basically take the Steve Jobs approach to theft.

but dont post a link to give them clicks


the post views number suggests that theres a healthy audience here
