Making Lemonade from Lemons: Lesson from a Plagiarist


I am fighting a battle of 22 instances of copyright infringement of my work. People copy my blog, photos, and even my entire car page. The infringers run the gamut of websites - from blogs to car rentals to hotels to tour companies to tourism.  

I spend hours, days and months slaving to write good text. Plagiarists steal it in seconds and when asked to remove my hard work from their rip-off sites, they taunt me with derogatory terms. I always approach them professionally and politely asking for the removal of my text. 

Recently one called me a "Copyright Troll". I Googled the term and found it means someone who enforces their copyrights in order to make money from litigation. That term does not apply to me. I just want the thieves to remove my content from their websites. Simple as that. 

Being a creative person I turned the name calling into lemonade.

I'm having fun with a bad situation. This is the new Internet Age T-shirt: http://tinyurl.com/87jmrsb I think I like the message on back of the shirt better. What do you think?
