I'M SO MAD!!(please take the time to read this)
This is my 100th post on my blog. I thought i would be doing some super happy This is post #100 type of post.. but this can not wait.
1st let me start with this.
Bitacle.org STEALS CONTENT. If you are reading this on Bitacle.org’s site, you are reading someone else’s work who has NOT given permission for the reproduction. If you’d like to read the site LEGALLY click here http://mindlesschatterofabusymom.blogspot.com/ Do not continue to pad Bitacle’s pockets by clicking on their ad driven pages. Help put a stop to Copyright Infringement.
While reading blogs tonight i came across this http://littlebalddoctors.wordpress.com/2006/10/09/no-longer-safe/
She was talking about how her bog was being posted at Bitacle.org with adds on it and that people were making money off of what she wrote and claiming it as there own. she linked us here http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/09/27/the-bitacle-battle-of-blogs/ This site shared with us how we could find out if someone was steeling our blogs and useing it as there own.
I thought surly noone would want to steel my little blog it isn't all that exciting KWIM? I WAS WRONG. I did the seach like the above linked told us too and sure enough my blog has been being used on this site, Not just my words, BUT photos of my children and they have places for people to comment.. I knew when i started blogging i was putting my words and photos out there for anyone to find, BUT I DID NOT THINK SOMEONE WOULD STEEL THEM. I am so far past mad at this point. In the above links there are things we can do to try to stop this.. I'm just not exactly sure what they all are yet.. BUT from now on I think all my post will start with Bitacle.org STEALS CONTENT. If you are reading this on Bitacle.org’s site, you are reading someone else’s work who has NOT given permission for the reproduction.

Keep fighting the good fight. Since I posted that No Longer Safe post, Bitacle has disabled their email. I don't know how long ago you read my post, but I've put up information about contacting Bitacle.org's site host (a US company who will understand about copyright law) to see if there's anything they can do. Since you can't email Bitacle directly, starting with the host company is a good place to go.
Bitacle says because they link back to the original content, they are within legal rights, just like any other feed site like Bloglines or Feedburner. I still want my content removed because they are putting ads on my work when I don't even do that, which is against my Creative Commons license. I think the next step (for me) is to file a DMCA (go to www.plagiarismtoday.com linked in my No Longer Safe post to find out what this is) for my 237 posts stolen (and I have to cite my website as well as Bitacle's for EACH INSTANCE, which is 474 instances of infringement to cite), which will take time, but I can file it with Google Adsense to see about getting my content removed. Next step is legal action, which I cannot afford. Hopefully, though, enough people get mad and complain in email and in writing that Google does something, and Bitacle's site host does something.
I signed this comment with my old Blogger sign in because you don't allow anonymous comments, which won't let me put in my new blog address, http://littlebalddoctors.wordpress.com. But I don't write in Blogger anymore, just wanted to clarify.
