Yes it is sad to say...
I wrote a post just yesterday... with an original quote that I coined and published and have had published within my industry.
So I expounded on the quote a bit more and posted it for those interested on the Steemit platform.
Here is the original post: https://steemit.com/life/@kyusho/if-it-is-in-your-mind-it-is-only-theory
Then along comes

He then copies it verbatim, minus my signature or even credit...
It was not re-steemed as many logically and ethically do, no he just used it as his own...
Here is my reply to his comment:
May I ask what your process is in stealing posts from other sources as your own?
This was created b on my blog this morning, yet I see it hear under your name, not re-steemed, but as your own property.
I am not alone,
this individual is stealing from many people, taking the credit.
This can not be allowed as it ruins the platform and steals from those that put in hours, weeks, months and years to add to. We have the re-steem, but theft and fraud needs an answer... as it may be your material tomorrow.
So what recourse do we Steemit Users Have?
What are your thoughts?
