Long story short- I found out that a brand new blog had ripped off one of my blog posts verbatim with no attribution, presenting it as if it were his own content. I sent the guy an aggressively worded cease and desist email, and was about to contact his web host, but he removed the post before I got the second email sent, and made an excuse about "testing" his site and "accidentally" copying and pasting.
I've been watching his site since then, and discovered that he had reposted a lengthy how-to post from this forum verbatim, with no attribution, as if it were his own. I'm under the impression that violates the terms of the Creative Commons license this site uses.
Edit:
Looks like he added "from http://talk.maemo.org." Does that meet the requirements for the CC license.
I'd like to notify the content owners, but I'm not sure who to contact. This is the forum post:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=30976
I'm not going to post the blog URL, because I don't want the guy to get pagerank from this. I'll be happy to send it via private message if someone wants to pursue this.
