Clumsy Rip-Off

It may well already have been mentioned before, but http://www.sexeroticstories.org/ appears to be a large-scale - and clumsy - rip-off of Literotica. Why clumsy? I haven't checked everything by any means, but at least two of my own stories ('A Date for the Prom', and 'Be gentle with her') appear on the site but are incomplete. Comparison with the Lit version shows that the 'rippers-off' have copied only the first page! Author names have been removed from the stories, but some of the 'Literotica Olympics' chain stories are there, as are some of the 'Tales from Snippettsville' tales. The Snippettsville collections contain author names which are links and, yes, the links lead back to Literotica!

It would be funny if it wasn't so bloody annoying.

Kittie-Mama rocks

They have on their site:

Bare Bottom Resorts
Survivor Contest stories
Paperback Romance stories
at least 2 stolen Erotic Horror stories (One of which is mine, and I PM'ed Laurel instantly. The other, I know the author and emailed him)

IF you have anything on Lit... check and make sure it isn't on this site.

They have a LOT of mine... yeesh...

Finally! I've been ripped off. All the stories thefts in the pasts have carefully excluded my stories. I was so insulted.

Now I'm mad! Go gettem Mama Kitten.

I see vella got ripped off and Patricia51 in the horror catagories.

I just looked at one of my stories, and they cut it off about half way through. It almost appears though, that they read it as it is cut off at a logical point.

when you click on the link, does it tell you about meeting people in your area?

There was at thread about a month ago about this site! They have stolen a lot of our stories. I have even been ripped off. They took the 3 chapters out of the middle of my Michelle series and another short story The Boardwalk.

I emailed the site own but have not heard back from them. I also emailed the ISP that hosts the site. They said to make a formal complaint in accordance with {gobbledy gook legal speak} and they will have the offending material removed.

Still working on that one.

Holy Jack! I have to find out if they ripped me off or not!

This isn't the first time I've been ripped off, but I can't seem to find a way to contact the site owners or ISP host... can someone please help me out here? I have a standard letter drawn up by my lawyer that I send to these assholes. It usually gets results within the week.

SHIT! They ripped off my Vicki series, though oddly enough they missed my most popular chapter, the last one! What assholes!

By the way, let's all thank Alex for bringing this to our attention. Seriously, I needed to know that. Those pricks have got lawsuit written all over them!

Yeah, the bad news is that they ripped off Katie's Eden, the good news it that I now know who I can fuck here locally.

Don't count on it, it's a site in China. About the only thing you can expect is the ISP will pull the copyrighted material from the site.

Damn, yeah, I just noticed the Mandarin characters above the stories! Damn! Typical of what the Red Chinese government allows and encourages these days! Plagiarism, copyright infringement! Thanks for letting me know that, though, Zeb.
