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 https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/official-kc-strategy-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.:deal: Read the fine print !

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...
