Wow, What?

Well nicely a member that I did not know informed me of a website that has posted my article word for word, without acknoledging me or my blog......amazingly it is word for word, except for the beggining about CC obv. I don't know what I should do but maybe some others can investigate...here's the link...

Tournament Strategy: Nuts and Bolts

and here is mine......it is crazy http://www.cardschat.com/f11/officia...rategy-118140/

any suggestions on what I should do, should I be mad? flattered?

They have a contact us area. I would contact them and let them know that Joe G. is a thief. Beyond that i don't know what you can do.

I am very sorry this link takes you to another forum, Im just trying to show the article..

That is REAL f&$$ed up. I would certainly exploit this guy. What a creep trying to take credit for your writings and strategies.

On a lighter note, it's gotta be a bit flattering. Keep us posted on the course you take, and the results pls.

I would definitely contact them. That is copyright infringement, and is a load of crap, imo. While it is flattering that they would choose your work, do you really want someone else getting for your hard work?

I emailed there support and basically said that I want them to take it down, and if not I want compensated or atleast recognize me as the friggin author, I mean I took the time to do it, that guy copy and pasted...sighhh

Anyways I'm hoping this isn't a blood sport, but I basically told them that CC is a big forum and they wouldn't want 40k + hearing not to go to their site

As said earlier, their is a contact link direct to their president, they are based in Texas and registered in the US, I would tell them that the member and themselves are intellectual property thieves and unless they either credit the strategy to you or delete it ( your choice ) you will sue, and trust me, you would win.

This exact thing happened to Tenbob i think it was, or maybe it was rex, pm them asking what they did.

Edit: I think it might have been four_dogs or lo-dog. One of the dogs i think it was. Search for a thread saying something like ive been plagerized

You know what, the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. I've reported it myself. Not only is it plagerism against you, it's copyright infringement against Cardschat.

Like it says at the very bottom of every CC page, CC should sue too and run a $100,000 freeroll with the proceeds. Read the fine print !

now the link's not opening

ffs, i cant find the thread i was on about. Surely someone else remembers??

Your the best JQ, thanks, it is really getting to me too, any help is appreciated

We should all just send them a support ticket and let them know....The more saying something, the faster they will take it down??

I e-mailed them for you......

I am writing you in regards to the following article: TOURNAMENT STRATEGY: NUTS AND BOLTS By Joe G. which is linked to the following url:
http://www.royalflushclubmembers.com/public/422.cfm

This article has been plagiarized. Plagiarism is the same as stealing. This is not tolerated in any means what so ever by any credited school, place of work or by anybody that has a piece of mind. I request that you take this down immediately and let Joe G. know that if he cannot create his own work, or at least cite the original author, than he is nothing more than a thief. I will also take it upon myself to find out how to get a hold of Joe G. to inform him that he is a lazy excuse for an author that cannot give proper credit where credit is due.

wow it's even a pay site, as they need credit card info and billing add. for reg.

lol how classy their authors are...the content must be the best, coming from KC. I'm interested to see what else this author has "written"

look this guy is selling dvds and books too ......looks like a get rich off poker quick scheme too me....already looks like a snake...

Royal Flush Club

sigh, i couldnt find the thread i was looking for, but i did find this

http://www.cardschat.com/f42/tb-vs-i...kament-103513/ (http://www.cardschat.com/f42/tb-vs-irexes-trash-talkament-103513/)

All you can do is complain KC, although it must make you feel a little warm and fuzzy inside knwoing your article was good enoguh to be copied?

dude you should post about this at all the forums you are a member at. Keep this schmuck from screwing other people, as they can get all this priceless info here at cardschat free

WOW that was fast... I already received an e-mail back.

Here is what it says: (sorry i didn't copy this I'm retyping it from my phone)

"This matter is being handled. The copied article has been deleted form our site and we are taking steps to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Please accept our apologies.

lol, I belong to others, but haven't posted if at all at any of them, so ppl wouldn't care, I'm at CC 99.9999% of the time ....but I wouldn't doubt that they just go around finding articles and copying them to cut the work and just plain be lazy!

Curtis,

Please accept my sincere apology for this blatant copying of your article by Joe G.

Joe submitted this article to our newsletter editor, who included it in good faith, not
realizing it was copied.

The offending article has been removed from our site and this offensive act will be dealt
with appropriately.

Rick Braddy
President/CEO

Thanks all for your work

edit, JQ do what you want with the thread, lock, ect

uh oh , I got someone fired....anyone think i should reply and ask for a writers position

Here's is Joe's email address, in case you want to contact him regarding this matter:
~mod edit: removed...lol~

He is no longer a member of our site, due to this violation of our Terms of Service.

Rick

are you sure they are telling you the truth....sending you the right mail

don't delete it, it could be handy if the same situation arises at a later date, since i couldnt find other one

email him saying pwned

the link is working again

yeah I know wtf, and he said that it was down and off the site

I swear if they mess with me or CC... IT's ON

this guy actually did take time to delete and replace some of your phrasing. I saw he mispelled rather in the 22-99 section, and this was added in.

what a dirtbag. trying to help cover up?

They took it down, realized they had nothing left to offer on their site, and figured you'd never check again, I guess .

Sue and spam the crap out of Joe's email account. The article is still up, 2+2 might be interested.?

Well, I was coming here to boast of their quick response:

Tammy,

First let me apologize for this inadvertent copying of your site's article by one of our members, who we trusted to follow our site's Terms of Service, which strictly forbids this kind of blatant copying.

The offending article has been removed from our site (the page has been deleted). Unfortunately, a teaser version of this article was also included in our monthly newsletter (which has already been emailed out to our subscribers).

We will take steps to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future.

Please let me know if this is resolved to your satisfaction.

Thanks

But see that it is back up. What a load of bs. Replying back now...stay tuned.

LOL they keep putting it back up, it must be the best article they have ever had on their site!

But seriously, fckin keep emailing them till they take it down.

Orrrrrr, change the article so it doesnt say Joe, and says your name instead? hummmmm

I wonder if Coach Larry's micro ring game article is actually Chuck Ts. I'm not going to join to find out.

I'm on this guys. Please don't send a rash of emails until I can resolve the matter. I'll let you know when I get a response.

LOL. JQ should ask to see that article imo

I might just join myself and peruse their site...
