What appalls me is they stole every single blog I wrote starting two years ago until April 17, 2013.

The person from that blog and I had an email conversation. She tried to shut down the other site since the name was much like her own blog title (which was a pet sitting business), but the person who opened it had google mail and she didn't. She couldn't get into it.<br /><br />Anyway, the other site had copied ALL my blogs from my very first one up through April 17, 2013, ALL photos, everything. They titled their blog Travel Information. I tried to email them, as Google requested, but their comment form was for show only. You could not leave them a comment.<br /><br />The site has been closed down. I'm very thankful Google took care of my request quickly. It was a lot of form filling for the copyright infringement, but I'm glad I took the time to do it.TravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756706420552331439.post-84391860643671680442013-05-02T09:51:38.834-05:002013-05-02T09:51:38.834-05:00Wonderful news!

When I get a chance, I'm going to try to follow-up on this and any similar type situations to see if I can find out more information on what happened, why and how.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'm glad Google has acted promptly on your request.

As always loved all your interesting photos. That is disturbing that you found someone stealing your blog content. I suspect there is a lot of that but the odds of finding it is rare. How odd that both you and Bob happened to find it. Glad you got that taken care of.<br /><br />BTW since I am consolidating comments so I can get caught up...thanks for the movie reviews. I think the Sapphires sound especially interesting.
