I started writing a blog in my Yahoo 360. I thought it was fun. I did some research in the net before I posted that blog in yahoo 360. The the next day, while surfing the Yahoo 360, I was totally shocked to find out that the message I made in my blog was copied by other person. he just changed. He actually copy paste everything including the picture. It was annoying. I don't really know what to do to make him delete what he copied in my blog. I thought , we will write our own thoughts and ideas in our blog. I really don't know what to tell that guy.

Copying someone else's written work is plagiarism. I am wondering if you write your blogs for pay or if the person who stole your work is being payed for what he will be passing off as his own. If so, I would contact the webmaster of the site you found your work copied and pasted to. This person may not know he could be in trouble.

I would still report this person's actions. If they did this to you, they could do it to me. If you have an opportunity to stop this person, you could have an opportunity to save me from going through this same thing.

Hi there Philboi, It is very annoying to see your efforts being plagiarized by others. There is not much you can do about it other than maybe contacting the person and telling how you feel about it. But on the other hand you can feel proud that someone has found your work worthy of posting on his own blog. And more importantly is that he helps spread the word about some health important issues. I van help millions and deep inside you can be proud of yourself as you know it is down to your original article.
