    This is going to be fun. Can you keep this up for any length of time?

    HI,

    My name is Michael and I’m a fellow WordPress.com blogger.

    A week or so ago, while doing some random searching across the web, I came across a blog on Blogger.com – I also discovered that the author had “re-posted” one of my fiancee’s poems without permission and was trying to pass it off as his own writing.

    After doing some additional checking, I discovered that almost all of the written content on that site had been “cut and pasted” verbatim from WordPress bloggers. Your post: “The Definition of Love” was one of them.

    I don’t know if you gave permission for that person to “re-post” your writing, but in the event that you did not, I wanted to make you aware of the situation.

    You can see the “re-post” at: http://its-a-long-story.blogspot.com/2008/12/definition-of-love.html

    I have been providing folks with two Google email addresses (Google owns Blogger) where they can file a complaint about this person. The email addresses are:

    contact-admin@google.com

    dns-admin@google.com

    Also, if you visit this person’s site, you can click on one of the “Ads by Google” link, where you can file a complaint against this person with AdSense (there is no reason that this person should be generating revenue off of your writings).

    In addition, WordPress has a “fill-in” form you can use to let them know that someone else has stolen your content. The link to that form is:

    http://stolen.wordpress.com/tips/

    If you do file a complaint, be sure to include the direct URL to your post as well as the URL to the location is has been reposted.

    Best Regards,

    - michael -
