Default Weight Loss Forum Is Plagerizing Our Posts From ASDLC

I just posted this in response to Sid's (sprudil) post pinging me, but
am reposting it under it's own subject line to bring more attention to
it.

In article sckDe.1465$%K2.187@pd7tw1no, says...
See what I mean about ASDLC posts appearing on tthe web forum look at your
weekly tips.

http://www.weight-loss-guide.net/for...-low-carb-tips

I see what you mean! They took my post and posted it as their OWN. Oh,
it has my name on it, but it says I'm posting as a "guest" and there is
no indication WHATSOEVER that it originates in ASDLC. It makes it
APPEAR that I posted directly to their forum and that I endorse and
participate in it, which is an outright LIE. THAT ****es me off.
That's like hijackware, which has been in the news lately whereby
advertisers basically STEAL space on a legitimate website and REPLACE
that website's ads with their OWN.

At the bottom of the forum page, since I have not joined their forum, it
says:

You cannot post new topics in this forum
You cannot reply to topics in this forum
You cannot edit your posts in this forum
You cannot delete your posts in this forum
You cannot vote in polls in this forum

Excuse me? They can take my words and post them there without my
permission and I have no say about it? I beg to differ.

I sent email to the anonymous " telling them
to remove my posts. After looking up the domain registration, I also
sent one directly to the domain owner (see below). Their site may or
may not be useful, but I have no wish to be affiliated with anything
that a) advertises, or b) uses such deceptive and underhanded tactics as
that. If they want to posts links or even post the entire posts with an
indication that it originated in ASDLC, that's one thing, but it's quite
another to post it under their own umbrella as if it originated THERE.

They aren't just showing our posts -- they are STEALING them.

Not to get you more fired up, but there's more than one forum doing
this, I learned about a year ago.

talkabout.com or somesuch archives just about everything you post to usenet.

When you post on newsgroups, the text gets sent to numerous news servers
around the world, to mailing lists, and to web forums. You have to
consider your words to be in the public domain, even if someone else
seems to be profiting from them.

No, nothing is in the public domain unless you specifically put it
there. For someone to profit from the use of my Usenet posts is
infringement on my copyright.

Just FYI....

An infringement on your "copyrighted material" is only actionable if you can
show monetary loss from the "theft". Copy right law is not about some sort
of altruistic "ownership", it's really all about money. If you post
information without an attempt to earn from it, but others take your
publicly posted information and manage to profit, it's no more actionable
than a kid selling a bike that Santa gave him for Christmas.

Trust me on this one, okay?

You don't see an x-no-archive header on my post, do you?

Yes, I would have to show that I suffered damages (unless I registered
the copyright) in order to prevail in court, but that doesn't mean I
lose all rights to the material just by posting it.

Trust me on this one, okay?


No. OK?

Does this mean that you don't have a problem with Google (which is a
for-profit enterprise selling/generating ads based on post content)
archiving your posts, yet you have problems with other sites doing
essentially the same thing? If so, what do you see as the difference?

Or does your statement mean that you don't really care either way, and
were just passing on information earlier?
