“In 2000, I wrote an Internet reference article that was the culmination of my effort and expertise on the subject. My work has since been plagiarized by several online sources. It was insulting and infuriating to see others claiming my work as their own and using it to draw Internet traffic to their websites.
“A few months ago, Mr. David Cross wrote a very informative article about dealing with a Web-based plagiarist. I employed his tactics – and by the next morning, I received my first e-mail from a Web host informing me that they had shut down the offender and three or four other websites the offender had with them! The website with my stolen material: Gone.
“The result,” as Mr. Cross stated in his excellent article, was “quick and severe.” It was amazing to see the thunder brought down so summarily on these unscrupulous individuals. I was delighted with the immediate result, and further encouraged to pursue other offenders.
“This is my letter of thanks to everyone at ETR for their invaluable assistance in this situation. I would never have received these results without your professional and experienced insight. ETR is the best e-zine I subscribe to!”
