If they’re gonna do it, then they better at the very least give credit to the original author.

You should credit the author and if possible ask permission.

In my opinion, even if they admit it’s not theirs or actually state the original author, it’s still a really shitty thing to do. The original author won’t see the feedback and popularity of their own work if it’s posted elsewhere without them knowing. And also this board in general suffers because it’s content is being duplicated.

They say that mimicry is the greatest form of flattery, but that ain't mimicry.

That's plagiarism, and it's gross.

Is there any way to contact this person? I think we can all agree what this person did is seriously unethical.

I don't think I'd have to worry about any of my stories being posted to Literotica, as it is an adult site, and none of what I write, might be considered "erotic" by any stretch of the imagination.

But I have had some pictures manipulated, which made a seemingly "innocent" picture to appear to be porn. I did not take kindly to it, and complaints to the admin/owner, and to the individual who posted the picture, fell on deaf ears, so I took the extreme measure of complaining to the server. The site was down the next day.

Thats poor and low from the person, whoever it is to plagiarise content. The trouble is most things on the internet can be copied or stolen in some way, not that its right.

The user might not even be a member here either as you dont need to be to read or ‘steal’ stories.

Just an idea, im not familiar with the site but is there a thumbs down button or downvote button? Maybe a group of people from this site might like to leave negative reviews so they dont get the praise they were looking for?

In most cases it is fairly easy to trace a website (literotica.com) by using who.is...

Registrant Contact Information:
Name: Jewella Privacy - cfcbd
Organization: Jewella Privacy LLC Privacy ID# 387394
(rest removed)

Which will lead to a postal box in New Orleans.
And that took all but 2 minutes.

Permission is requred from the author of the original story, if they permit you the original author is to be credited!

Y’all want the link to this guys account?
Did you ever get the link so the rest of us can look?

Go have a look, I know 2 are stolen. “My boss” which is mine, and “my step-moms punishment”
Man that’s really annoying. Especially how their bio refers to them as “my stories”.
I reported the profile. Takes 2 seconds to do. Hopefully enough of us reporting it can get the profile taken down. Although they’ll probably just set up another one.
