PSA for those who post to ff.net

[cairistiona]

There's apparently several spamdex accounts mirroring ff.net and thereby copying everyone's stories onto their sites with their advertisers, etc etc.

Here's a link to the post about it on mrowe's tumblr:

I found my stories on all the mirror sites and duly reported them and also emailed ff.net with the links, which has probably been done 10,000 times by others but just in case they didn't know about it. :/

So aggravating.

I'm an eternal noob, to swipe your phrase, at the technical side of internetzing and databases and codes (seriously, I haven't upgraded my knowledge since 1998 levels), but it just floors me that while I'm not allowed to do a simple right click copy/paste on ff.net so I can quote a line in my review, someone else can go in and lift the entire thing and put it on their server like it's their own.

So true! :(
