Default Who the fek are these guys and why are they stealing my content?!

Okay so I was Googling my club water (as you do) when I found a reference on a forum. I had a look out of interest, was pleasantly surprised to see someone else posting about the reservoir in question. When I had a look at it was a 'fishing report' and I was amused to see their pictures were very similar to mine. In fact...hang on, that's my blog post!!

Anyone know who runs this link removed at request of admin. All they seem to do is harvest other people's work and post it on their site without giving any credit. I am no longer amused!

Take this 'catch report' they've posted:

Link removed at request of Admin

It's stolen directly from my site without any credit/hyperlink.

Originality is undetected plagiarism.

The guy in question has now removed my work from his website. All's well that ends well!

I think that's right. Once you publish anything on line it must be pretty hard to stop it getting ripped off.

Tying this fly is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First, make sure you’ve got a tight grip on your shank. Then, make sure your cock is firm but not too stiff. Finally, don’t leave a huge blob of varnish on the head.

Is this a Yorkshire thing ??????? ...... I am suprised your stuff only turns up on angling sites !!!!
