It's really getting bad out there. I've set aside scheduled time to check the internet out and work on having things removed. The problem is just that consistent and never ceases to amaze me.

That's it...I can't look anymore. Just filed DMCA's for "Falling" and "Tension". If I look more my head will explode. I wonder if these fuckers stealing my work would feel differently if they knew that I shoot Glock pistols competitively and could drop their asses from 50 yards with my 34...

OMFG...I want to strangle someone! Or multiple people! I took one line from one of my earlier stories ("Falling") and fuck if Google didn't come up with SEVEN fucking sites with the story on them...some didn't even bother to change the names of the characters...now I have to decide if I want to check all my other stories, or just take a deep breath and possibly a sedative and call it good.


It has never occurred to me to look. Now I'm a little scared to.

That's hot!

It happens all the time. I'm growing tired of it, and when I have time I'll sit down and search my work again. So far, I know of two of my stories on 3 sites.

Yep. I've been plagiarized. Trying to figure out if I want to bother doing anything about it. But it's fucked up.

One thing about most of these thieving sites: They really don't last long.

They typically depend upon one of two things, ad revenue or hosting malware for bad actors. The first is becoming less lucrative by the day, and many of these sites will vanish from negative cash flow. The second usually get them blackballed by so many security sites, malware programs, and search engines in a heartbeat, forcing the webmaster to set up shop somewhere else. Either the host decides they're more trouble than they're worth, or they aren't delivering enough malware to meet the demands of the supplier.

Searching via specific lines also gives you an unrealistic picture of how many people may be reading your story on another site and believing it was written by the webmaster. If you weren't searching for an exact match, the odds are you'd never see the site, no matter how many search terms related to the story you use. Google does a fair job of filtering these fly-by-night crap sites out of its results.

The cretin who's stealing the stories will usually start a new site as soon as one peters out, but it will peter out in turn. Getting your story removed or a site shut down is satisfying, but if you devote too much thought and time to it, it becomes a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. You could better spend your time writing new stories.

Many of the "legitimate" sites such as those related to XNXX or Xhamster will remove your stuff when it's been stolen. It's user-posted content, and not screened by the site initially. If you serve them a DMCA claim, they'll take the story down. Fortunate, because those sites actually do get some traffic, and people are being fooled. A lot of times, you can post a comment on the stories pointing back to where it's posted with your permission as well -- redirecting people to your full body of work.

The same applies to the big story sites who don't have the staff levels Lush does, and can't do a search for existing publications as the mods here often do. Things will slip by the one or two people approving the stories, but as soon as they're alerted, they'll take them down.

Good luck trying to get your work removed from a members-only site like fetlife, though. In my experience, they're as likely as not going to ignore your claims and delete your profile if you create one to alert them to the theft.

Concentrate your efforts where it will accomplish something, ignore the rest, and keep writing. Anything you post on the internet is going to be stolen at some point.

This. Thanks for the words of comfort. I cringe every time I see this thread in rotation. It's a shame - we toil and sweat over our work only to have it lifted, requiring us to fight to have it taken down!

Yeah...I can tell you from experience, and I have quite a few stories and poems posted out there since 2009...don't be surprised what you find...

Nowadays, because the problem is so pervasive...I usually don't bother trying to get something taken down unless it's being used either for commercial purposes, or if they're trying to take credit for one of my stories or poems by posting it under their name...

If someone just takes a story of mine that's here on Lush, say, and posts it on another site using the DirtyMartini name I usually don't bother trying to get it taken down...you'll find out too that most of these sites posting free erotica that they stole are almost impossible to contact anyway...

I'm not for everyone
My competition entry is on http://sexstories-xxx.com/16442_dolore-dolce
I'm pissed that there are no comments on there!

On a serious note, a thought for the admins here, all stories on Lush, should be in image format, png, jpeg, gif...
It's not the perfect solution, but it will make the thieves work harder.

Just a thought. See below.

Images use too much bandwidth compared to text, and it's terrible when it comes to search engine indexing.

The trade for security vs. anybody actually reading them without long load times simply isn't worth it.

Don't know if anyone is interested in this one, but there are definitely Lush member's stories here...I sent a note to Whysoserious? about his story, and the Lush member who wrote "A Ride To The Lake" hasn't signed in to Lush in 184 days, so I didn't bother...I haven't really gone through them all here, but I did send DMCA takedown notices for my three poems...

I'm very proud to have been the destructive force behind the shutdown of several major copyright infringing websites recently.

The two biggest scrapers of Lush content were these two and they are both down for the count after strongly-worded emails to their web hosts and domain registrars. Hopefully, they will stay that way.

I found most all my stories and poems on other sites. Good thing I just write for the fun of it. I'm such a beginner author, can't imagine why. With my good friend Mina (sweetestSins) it is a different story. She has published two novels and protects her work carefully. Weird one is that they stole my name too. Lol.

I'm getting too old to stress over the sins of others.

Many (if not most) sites that steal stories are not interested in the stories at all. All they want is cheap content that can be indexed by search engines to attract visitors. And since porn is well searched for, sex sories are an easy target. I wouldn't be surprised if in many of these cases there's hardly any manual labour involved in the copy/pasting of the story. I've had random pieces of one of my stories show up on a site, intermingled with images and parts of other stories. The total was just words/sentences/images that didn't make sense together, but probably looked good in search results.


A clear example of 'only for search engines' is http://hizliseks.com/history/titles/203774/. When visiting that page with JavaScript turned off it includes my story Luckiest Bastard, but with JavaScript turned on, which is common for almost all human visitors but not for search engine crawlers, the story is removed from the page as soon as it loads.
