Re: A note about "A disturbing bit of plagurism" posted on another group I belong to.

Not sure how this happened but my first post seems to have lost part of the first line of the post. It should have read.
This is a copy of what one of the people on another group I belong to posted a few minutes ago. Now I'm know that there are some on this list that are no longer with us and a few that have stopped posting so we don't know if they are or not. But if any one knows how to contact anyone on this list other than Clell, since they are the one that wrote this post originally please let them know about this.

I received this as a PM on FFN.
I discovered this morning that various works of fanfiction written by you, along with various of my own works, have been stolen by someone using the alias 'Barry Burch' [which might even be the thief's real name, for all I know] who has reposted them on a subscription website called scribd .com. The link to Burch's profile is below - if FFN doesn't edit it out:
/user/571197058/Barry-Burch/uploads
This 'Barry Burch' has stolen fanfiction written by writers on FFN who use the following pennames:
16woodsequ
Bobmin356
Broomstick Flyer

Clell65619
Elgin
Evilgoddss

...in total, Barry Burch has stolen works of fanfiction from twenty-eight of us.
I don't know if the original poster (Elgin) has forwarded this to everyone on the list, so I'm posting it here for those of us who frequent Caer.
From what I could see from looking at one of my posted stories, he hasn't claimed to have written the stories, but has posted them to SCRBD, a site that charges to read them and that sounds like asking to be sued to me.
I filed their 'copywrite violation' form (which isn't as simple as it could be)
Just a heads up.
