Melody Crust has also had a post pirated. And I recognized a few other professional quilters and bloggers in the posts just from today alone.

Not sure if I'm insulted or relieved that they didn't steal mine...

Cheers, K

I think that site is not in the US. The host may have a disclaimer and can choose to host legally. Very expensive for one person to take legal action against someone in another country reposting posts and pictures that could take years, if that is the case.

It's hosted by GoDaddy and we are taking action.

I want to clarify a point - I stated earlier that the posts pirated from me are showing up under the pseudonym "Slightly Off Quilter". I am in no way saying that a member of this board with a similar name is responsible for this.

Go to section B:

If the Complaining Party would like to submit a copyright claim for material on which you hold a bona fide copyright .... To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed copyright infringement must be provided to Go Daddy and must include the following information......
Wow! seems like the burden of proof is on the complainer. Good Luck.
