Have Your Poems Been stolen too?

I hate the idea of my poem being all jumbled up, so I left him a comment expressing how I'd take his actions as a compliment and then proceeded to post the original poem as well as links to DUP and All Poetry where it's published, and the YouTube link, of course, as he'd neglected the audio. I also encouraged him to feel free to post with proper acknowledgment at any time.

I agree

hopefully the admin at fetlife take plago's seriously.I've found, over the last couple of years that plago's are kind of mentally retarded, they believe they wrote what they stole and will fight tooth and nail to keep them.

posting links on their comment box is a good move, at least the members can  see whats going on.

definitely talk to the admin. try not to be angry or threatening, just say it like it is  

Thank you Mastersgdgurl... I reported him yesterday the frist time I saw my poems on his page. So far one been taking down... but the other poem remain. It sickens me that this loser would steal from me and claim its his. I treat my poems like my baby... I protect them... they are my heart and soul. A big thanks to a friend from here at Deep Underground told me about this loser. AntonDarkAngel took his poems too and my friend reported him. I hope the admin at FetLife would take down the other poem left on his page. The name of the poem the loser stole from me and changed the title is "The song of the shy person (to his love)" and the link: https://fetlife.com/users/1806520/posts/3084484#comments

The poem he used from me I wrote is "Can I" on my page. All he did was changed the title and switch a few words around to make it look like he wrote it.  If he been on Deep Underground, he might have copy someone else work too.

Yeah I've been down this sewage pipe of plagiarism before with many a fine piece taken
now i don't get all that bothered anymore
i know what's mine
if they want to come round and knock on my door to discuss about what's theirs and what's mine the're more than welcome
Though like the last good fellow who did,
well... let's just say I have a sharpened blade and room still under loverly flower bed

I looked at my switchblade and he did not change a damn thing except the title. Now I do think he has blocked me from viewing his account so I need to find out if he has taking more of mine

I can't understand why anyone would steal poetry. What goes on in a  poetry thief's mind?  I have never read anybody's poem and found it that amazing that I just had to steal it  and pen it in my name. Poet thieves aren't the most despicable scoundrels to a poet. They actually show a poet the influence and power of his words. A poet should always know the power of his words and influence. You know what is the most despicable scoundrels to a poet? A bitch poet. I hate bitch poets, with furious anger. Poets that don't allow fellow poets freedom to express their voice and creativity. They have to dismiss, destructively criticize, minimize, and berate a fellow poet's truth. Truth is where you are in life. And every body is at a different unique place, so it's all valid. Bitch poets don't write poetry because it comes from their soul, from an ache, or from an inspiration. Bitch poets write for attention. They critique for attention. They crave attention without end. Bitch poets are the lowest scum of pond douche. I don't respond, read, or acknowledge bitch poets. Does a lion talk to a hyena? But a bitch poet has his/her purpose, I suppose. A bitch poet can help elevate an average, mediocre poet to a noble poet position. Interestingly, a poet thief never steals from a bitch poet. Because a bitch recognizes a fellow bitch. Bitches don't steal from other bitches. They steal from kings and queens. And kings and queens are magnanimous and generous in property and courtesy. Don't be a bitch poet. Be a rich poet.

Take it as a compliment when somebody steals your poetry. Just like what Bo said, it shows the power and influence of your words. When somebody is making money off your piece, that's a totally different story though. The best thing you can do is register your collection of work with the US Libray of Congress to obtain copyright. It feels good to see your work sitting on one of the shelves in the library.

If AntonDarkAngel blocked you from his account... that's a guilty bitch move and he doesnt want you to see want else he have stole. The only way to see inside is with another secret account. If he still have your work... keep reporting him. Ooooh and you can try put him on blast letting everyone know there that he stole from you. In my eyes he's a fake poet... and that bastard dont know who he messing with... taking people's hard work. >:/

If some poor soul is so lame that they gotta put their name to someone else's Intellectual Property (that phrase always makes me laugh), they should be pitied. You'go'head'on, 'steal' My Shit, I dare ye........Ha....

If the plagiarist blocks you on your account there, just start posting your own "poems" in the form of announcements about how the other member is a plagiarist. Post one each day and flood the place with accusations--maybe then, the admin on the website will do something.

Yes. I remember when I first join DUpoetry a few years ago and within the first few months I got a message in my inbox from a girl telling me that one of her friends had stolen a few stanza's from one of my poems, added it to him poem and was calling it his. When I confronted him, he showed me what he had done with my poem stanza's, and when I told him what he had done was wrong and that he could of at least asked for my permission to use a part of one of my poems, he deleted the poem and apologised over and over again. That was the end of that. I've not had any more thieves as far as I know.

I believe, mayhap, if you post your proof along with your original piece, tis possible some change may occur.

I know others have had many more poems stolen so this example may be more or less efficacious depending upon this. Here is our exchange:

I manage, but barely,

I've musky nectar

You know it too

He's since removed it. I have no idea why he's not blocked me. I've since been searching through his quite extensive catalog of poetry. He's over 1,000 poems he's claiming. I keep finding poems by more people here.

Bo, I take your point, luv; here's the thing, though: this art is personal, deep, coming from one's very essence it feels. To have it not just stolen, but distorted and massacred as well, and for what, to serve another who's saying to women on this site: I've written this especially for you because I want you to know how special you are to me. Blech! I cannot abide it. Not if I can do somewhat about it.

Mayhap, if the poem massacre wasn't occurring. Mayhap, if the misleading of these women wasn't happening - and that's even more important on a site like fetlife where meeting a liar could put one in serious peril.

Hmmm...

I had rather more to say on this matter than I'd thought. Forgive me for going on and on. I'll cease now.
