You've been extremely helpful, and I've always felt like you were on our side. I read this because I just don't see how it's possible to register every single article when the cost (while not exorbitant) cuts into the fee I earn per article. Plus, what happens if I register an article in the U.S. and the infringement occurs in Greece, where I now work, or Australia? My site is registered in the USA, but I write from Greece. This week has not been a good one, plagiarism-wise. I first found the Consulate General had lifted two of my articles (or at least, that's all I've found so far) without attribution or permission, then a local Greek newspaper lifted a different article from my site without even mentioning where they took the data and text featured on a full page of their Sunday edition. Beyond the first sentence insulting Americans (which I am), the article is simply a Greek translation of my text. Do you have any specific advice on confronting a diplomatic mission in Australia? I have a clear copyright notice on my site and can prove they belong to me, but none of these articles is registered and I'm not sure that would necessarily help. Would love to receive your input either here or via e-mail. Many thanks in advance for reading this and any help you can dispense. If you don't have time, I totally understand because time is a precious commodity.
