A colleague recently pointed me at a website that shamelessly stole my Medium content - my publication home page, entire articles, including my name, photo, everything!

They even use identical URLs, just replacing their domain name in place of medium.com!

What's worse, they do that to many many Medium writers, including I'm afraid you :(.

Have a look at http://www.fogmarks.com/the-anatomy-of-marketing. And that's just the tip of this sh*t iceberg.

I've reported them to Google, and it seems the links to their plagiarizing content stolen from my Medium work are not indexed.

I also reported them to their host, AWS, requesting they take down the copies of my work and if possible that they shut down this site. I'm waiting to hear back. You may want to do the same.

If I'm not mistaken, the Medium profile involved is suspended and under investigation by Medium. However, you may want to let Medium know he hit you too.

I hope they do an in-depth survey of all Medium content he stole and get it all de-indexed and taken down.
