Stealing from Warriorforum

I posted my youtube tactics on warriorforum almost 2 years ago.

I recently saw the same post I made here on another small IM forum, the same content were posted by admin of that webmasters forum as his own post.

He used the same figures and same words, in short he just copied and then pasted it on his forum as his own post.

I am not too concern about my own post as it wasn't something very special but I think he might have copied more of warriorforum posts on his own webmaster forum showing as his own posts / work. (probably to fill his forum with other people's posts - easy job of copy and paste)

I don't know how he will be able to build a community if he himself lacks ethics.? :confused:

Any thoughts on it or ethical approach in IM please.

    He will probably do this a little while and then when he figures out that he is not getting results, he might discontinue to do it.

    I have had articles and videos that I personally made copied by multiple people. You can go after them or you can focus on your business and growing it.

    It is your choice. I decided to continue to build my business online.

    Unfortunately with such easy access to information, practices like this will continue. Best not to let it concern you too much. I've witnessed karma in action many times and eventually this person will be repaid in kind for stealing information.

    As to an ethical approach to IM, I can only suggest that you hold yourself to the highest possible standards. Lead by example and people will see this. It's the best any of us can do.

    That content is still yours, not the WF's. You can send them a DMCA notice if you want to. Alexa Smith did that to a site that had copied her posts.

      trying to keep track of who steals what from you could potentially prevent you from advancing your business. I mean, the thieves shouldn't get away with it - but I too believe in karma - he will get his come-uppance - trust me

      I would humbly suggest that you simply focus on what you can control

      good luck!

        I apparently had an article stolen once. My brother said he read it on some website which happened to not be the one it was written for.

        That article was pure fiction.

        It was part of my world building efforts for a game being created by the company I was contracted by. I wrote it to sound real but, in context, it was obviously part of the game.

        I say take it as a compliment. It's not like this guy is getting anything out of stealing your post.
