If you are reading this post on a website that isn’t asiansweetheart.net then it is stolen content.
I don’t mean in a feed reader or on your Yahoo home page or if you have syndicated my posts on your Facebook or Twitter accounts. That is of course fine. I mean at another website that is stealing my posts and republishing them without permission mixed in with adult content. It shouldn’t last for much longer once the complaints get processed.

Poor Ms. AS. This must be quite frustrating for you. Wish there were some way I could help. Try to look at it as a measure of how good your taste in eye candy is.

It is pretty annoying. It happens often but usually it isn’t such a wholesale stealing thing, or they stop doing it when asked. Sometimes it is hard to stop. This time will be pretty easy because they are doing some things that make it easy to get them shut down. Takes time though.

Think of it as a complement. Content that isn’t good won’t get stolen, copied or reproduced in Thailand.

Re your post on stolen content.
I re-post your posts on Pattaya Rag Facebook and Twitter but the links are back to your site. Is this stolen or not?

No Ed, there is nothing wrong with that at all. There is just current problem of someone posting the entire content of every post on their blog as if it is their own. On top of that, they are also stealing from other blogs that are very adult type content so my posts are mixed in with other posts that are the kind of content I don’t post here, which bothers me because it could lead to confusions about who I am, damages my “brand” I think.

Hi,
I re-post your photo and sometimes mention that they are from you and sometimes not. Is that stealing-if yes I will quit it.
But thanks for the great work-love your blog.

No, it’s not you! If you are re-posting my posts with attribution then don’t worry about it. I love you guys, and when I see something on your blogs that would be good to post here I will use it and link back to you in the same way. That’s what the blogosphere is all about. It’s somebody else like I mentioned in my previous comment, copying every post entirely and mixing it in with adult content.

Asian Sweetheart – Fully understand but your ‘stolen’ message appears on my FB/Twitter and I’m sure many of my readers believe your content is stolen by me. This probably applies to a lot of sites who reproduce your material with attribution. You’ve hit all apples for the sake of one bad one.

Sorry about that. I didn’t know that would happen. I added a note to the post but I suppose it is too late now since it has already been syndicated.
May 29th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I just made a new post to hopefully clarify that I didn’t mean people who were legit syndicating on Facebook and Twitter. That new post should show up so people don’t get wrong idea.

It’s pretty shame. I visited most South East Asian countries and noticed that local blogs/forums usually post contents stole from another source. And the worst, they didn’t even give credits to the author of the original posts. Instead, they put some watermark in the contents (for pics, I don’t know about anything else) trying to claim that they’re the authors.
I don’t want to be rude, but I think some people were born thieves, no?

That thing where they put their own watermark on a photo that belongs to someone else is quite strange. I see that all the time.

You should check out his site and find out where he’s monetising it from. If he has adsense and Amazon then just let them know and they will pull his affiliate code and blacklist him for the future.
He’s stupid really because if he had cleared it with you first you both could have got some good backlinks to boost your google ranking.

Yeah Paul, you’re right. If they play nice we can share and link to each other. But this one isn’t doing that.
