Baking Delights

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

Hi guys.

This has not a whole lot to do with baking.  It seems that someone is swiping my stuff again.  Totally snatching  entire pages of Baking Delights,  at http://bakingdelights.com and publishing it as their own, including my pictures.

Once again I am really angry.  It is the same people, they just slightly changed their web address.  We can play this game of tag forever.  So, to you, my regular readers and friends, I want to apologize because I am going  add my notice of copyright as well as web address and a short disclaimer to every post so that people who are reading on their site know that I am not at all associated this scum (and that is what they are) , and that they are no more than common thieves.

Now, if you happen to be reading this check the web address in your address bar.. If it says http://bakingdelights.com/ and then other words  then cool.  If it says anything else  then you are reading totally stolen content.  Maybe it does not matter to you. It does matter to me.

You see people that steal content do so because they are creatively challenged and have no ethics.  They want to make quick and easy money by selling adspace to their sites. So they look for sites that are doing well and copy them, then sell the adspace.  It hurts me because it means that I make nothing for my writing and images on their site.  It hurts you because the more this happens the more that people like me who blog for a living won’t be able to afford to continue doing so. Baking Delights is something I love doing.  I hope it is something you love reading.  Please read the original and stay away from the copy.

Again, to my regular readers I apologize for the interruption.

    I think that’s horrific! I don’t even have a disclaimer on my site and the thought of someone doing this to you or anyone else is just plain disgusting. Am sorry to hear you’re having to go through this.

  2. Marye says:

    Thanks Pixie. It will be resolved eventually. :)

    Sue. Sue. Sue. Retire.

    Hang in there. It sucks, I know.

    Also, I read your site via feed at http://feeds.b5media.com/b5media/BakingDelights, but I think that’s okay, isn’t it?

    There are international copyrights that cover you even if the site is located elsewhere… you could sue.

    Mrs W..that is fine! Oh, it will work out …but it sure is irritating.
