Stop, thief!

The thieves over at knittingclub.org have decided to steal three of my last four blog entries (if not many more in the past) and repost them wholesale. I'm far from the only person who is getting my content stolen. The site looks to be nothing but purloined writing.

Conveniently there is no contact information whatsoever on the page. From examining the page source information, I could see that the person (or persons) are using Wordpress. I tried contacting them via the spam abuse form, but it wouldn't go through as Wordpress doesn't host the site. (It did direct me to the Whois page, which doesn't appear to offer helpful info to me.) I used the regular form for Wordpress to send a question, so we'll see if that goes anywhere.

If there's anyone out there more tuned in on these things, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail. I've posted about this in a couple Ravelry forums. The old thread in "Needlework on the Net" hasn't yielded any responses, but there have been a couple in the Blogging forum. (The designer of the Asherton Reversible Scarf has been facing the same problem with the site in question, so it's not just small potatoes sites like mine.)

The irony is that this post will probably end up being swiped too. If you're reading this there, you aren't supposed to be able to.
