I check out my stats,traffic sources and audience every once in a while.Yesterday,a link led me to a page which I initially thought was my own blog.More than 150 recipes from my blog has been blatantly copied there,including the 'about me' page(which is apparently the most popular post on that blog!),the whole of my 'recipe index'(which took me around a week to compile!)and many more recipes.
I have commented on one of the posts(I didn't know which one to choose,there are so many posts of mine there!)and asked that person to remove my posts as soon as possible.Since there is an about me section as well,I don't want people to start thinking I am the one who is plagiarising(since there are posts from some other blogs as well!).Have also sent a mail to google reporting copyright infringement.
I want to let all my readers know that allrecipesforcooking.blogspot.com is NOT MY BLOG.
My posts have been blatantly copied by this person without giving any due credit to this blog.Despite commenting yesterday night asking to remove the posts,that person has put in a new post from my blog today morning.So the only way out is to shut that blog down.I have given my complaint here,please do let me know if there is anything more I can/should do.
I have also changed the feeds from full feed to summary only.Hope my readers understand.
Thank you for your support and encouragement.

OMG..that site has blindly copied your recipes and also the whole about me section including your pictures have been copied. I too have left a comment there. And I hope google does some justice.
ReplyDeleteBeats me as to why people want to resort to such things! Same happened with me

I must complain too!
My God! Is that person mad, imbecile or something. Impersonating another person and not only their recipes. Jeeez this is foul act at its best. What the heck was that person thinking. I had left my opinion in the recent post.
ReplyDeleteI just check out the link...Thats so terrible Divya..But im sure this matter will be resolved soon..

I know how shocking it would be .... And I was really shocked to see your profile there in the About page and that too on top. Public readers, other than bloggers may not understand this and instantly may lead to miss consumption. Better you posted this... We are with you for support.
ReplyDeleteHey This is too much a person can do !!!
ReplyDeleteplagiarism at its height thats what can I say. how can she copy ur about me page. got amused after seeing your even one bowl cocoa brownie ,choco mousse and many other recipe posts in that blog ..
shame on her !!!
am sure all the rest recipies on her blog would also be copied from some other famous blogs !!!
Divya u should fight for this !!!U have every right for doing that !!!
My full support for you !!
thats pathetic, how can someone just blatantly copy everything from a person who done so much hard work and take credit for it. that blog should be banned...i hope some action is taken against that blog
ReplyDeletecherie
hi divya, i usually follow your blog quite regularly....gosh this plagiarism bit is terrible...hoping google can undo whats been done...
ReplyDeletesunita
That's something very terrible. I can understand how you must be feeling...Hope necessary action is taken soon.
ReplyDelete150 recipes!!!! This must be some lunatic !!!
ReplyDeleteomg how she was able 2 put about me on the top page itself. rally disgusting
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. This person copied your whole year's hard work into 1 month of posts; I wonder since how long has that blog been up. How in the world do these people copy everything, posts to links to photos, from someone's blog as it is?! Looks like disclaimers & copyright notices don't really work, or even matter.
ReplyDeleteDid you report the copyright issue here?

Divya ,your readers are with you. I hope you get this snafu sorted out soon.
ReplyDeletePlagiarism is a cowardly and despicable act and only a lunatic would resort to this kind of thievery.
This is really sad.. dont know how someone could blatantly do this.. hope this issue gets resolved soon and you get justice..
ReplyDeleteThat's so awful, Divya.....hope it gets resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's despicable, tough luck Divya..but not to worry, Iam sure google would assist and do the needful..Looking forward to the times when coveting & stealing the hard work of another with no credits to them, is out for ever...and leave the world as a better place for our future generations to survive !
ReplyDeleteOh God it's shocking.. how can a person copy another one's about me page too?? Shameless act... Hope this will be resolved soon... take care Divs....
ReplyDeleteDivya,
ReplyDeleteI came to know of this via my sis-in-law Srishti (in comments above), who follows your blog.
I think this is something you should not put up with by any means, any day. You must do all you can to see the thief is taken to task.
This is plagiarism at its worst. Absolutely abominable...
I am a blogger too and slog my *** out trying to produce original, authentic content for my readers. It would unbearable to see any of my content being blatantly copied like this..
I'm going to Tweet this to find out from people what else you can do about it.

did u try reporting this to cyber police? I think if google does not take any action you should go to cyber police ASAP.
ReplyDeleteAlso do u have a Creative commons license? Report to them too if u do
Hi Divya
ReplyDeleteI am a regular reader of your blog and really enjoy trying out your recipes....its really disheartening to see this kind of blatant copying happen...and this person is still blogging! Andhe or she seems to be copying recipes from all over..its so obvious! I really hope some action is taken...seems to be someone who speaks portuguese...cos the comments page has the word "disse" meaning "says" before every comment.
Good luck and don't let this discourage you!
