Literotica Content Being Stolen?

[minsue]

Seems to be a lot of names I recognise showing up on this site in particular.

That site in particular seems to just be taking index pages from Lit. Including, oddly, the poetry pages.

Seems to be the same as the joelbrennan.org site.

Is advertising, but I'm not about to pay to find out what - anyhow it seems to contain my sci-fi/fantasy if any others have similar stories.

I am more concerned with how to find stories that are not putting me down as author, but hmm . . .

Joelbrennan and the genbil site seem to be two different links to the same site. How do I find out if I have anything there, outside of subscribing? If they are ripping off everybody else, they are probably ripping me off too.

Almost every site on the internet will accept an e-mail to "Webmaster@<domain-name>" if they don't have a specific "contact us" link on the home page.

If youcan't find a "contact us" link, and you're not into tracking down hosts and domain registrations for a way to make contact, then notifying Laurel is probably the best you can do.

It does occur to me that the various search engines might be able and willing to take action against sites that "appear to be trying to take over my computer" if the problem is more than just pop-up hell -- especially with an added illegality of copyright infringement laid against them.

It's not in the search engines' best interests to direct users to sites with malware and viruses and the point of stealaing stories for most of the offending sites is to increase the number of hits in the search engines.

If enough complaints about copyright violations and other problems with offending sites reach the search engines, just maybe the search engines will blacklist them and negate the benefit of stealing stories?

"Try to take over my computer" might be an exaggeration but they do try to plant trojans and inundate me with popups. The popups won't delete in the usual way and the only thing I end up doing is leaving the internet and then I have to scan my computer to get rid of all the trojans and whatever else they have planted.
