interesting notes, and something i've been familiar with over the last three years! i'm sorry that you've been plagiarized; such an event can seriously discourage sharing (and be really enraging). i mean, if i were you, i would probably move heaven and earth to make my works plagiarism-proof... if that's even possible. i love that you raised these points, and it's important that everyone -- content-creators, even -- read this.

i used to curate for curie, and focused mostly on the arts, and i've seen loads of opportunists who make money off plagiarized works. it's sad that after three years, this still happens. thanks for the reminder that investigating about possible plagiarism and discussing it with the OP (as diplomatic as can be) are the ways to go. oops, this has become novel-like. xD

tl;dr i'm with you on this! hive on. :)
