SSFF Rip-Off - voice your disgust

icarusBy now most of you have heard that Lynda (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tboy) had her content swiped from her site, word for word, without credit or a link.
Turns out the thief - Vashunglasses - was a participant in a past wave of the SSFF. Needless to say, their story has been removed.
This makes it worse to my mind, like having friend steal from you. There was no reason to not contact Lynda, she wasn't even a stranger to this person.
The rip-off fest is shut down, but not because of any communication. It's just completed. We have heard nothing back from the thief so far, there has been no response.
Voice your opinion: Email Vashunglasses.

Date: 2003-07-10 09:59 pm (UTC)Progress report: Have sent 2 letters to Vash, received no replies.
Site is still up, with our stolen content still there.
Have written to PP formally requesting their investigation (after re-uploading our original content, so they can do a compare and contrast). Am waiting to hear back, to confirm if they will agree to proceed or not.
Vash's hotmail addy bounces, so I've had to keep writing to the addy you've quoted above. Don't know if it's because she simply hasn't cleared her hotmail account for a while, or if she's been receiving a recent volume increase of mail over this issue *small smirk*.
I don't know what else to do. If she tells us all to fuck off, there's no recourse for me.
Oh well. At least she'll never be able to play in the Snape corner of fandom ever again. I doubt she'd be tolerated for long.
