I consider us - especially my flist - as a community, and in a weird way, when they steal from you, they do take a little bit from all of us.

Please keep us updated on this situation, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thank you and I will. As I said in many comments, if she doesn't take action after my polite email, I'll send cavalry on her ass.

If she's selling the vids, then threaten to report her to the PTB - selling vids is illegal, as far as I know. That should get her to stop sharpish.

Except I don't think there's much ABC could do, unfortunately, since she's in Australia. They tend not to go after people in foreign countries.

This is just...amazingly stupid (I wish I could say it was unbelievable, but people always do this and it's only unbelievable in the sense that they think they can get away with it) and I feel for you. Off to write a pointedly scathing email now.

*hugs*

I will have to restrain myself and remain polite. At first.

There is nothing more despicable than a plagarist. Let me know how I can be of help -- I'm more than happy to go Jack Bristow on this, if needed.

Just horrible and wrong.

Thank you, Amy. As I said in many comments, if she doesn't take action after my polite email, I'll send cavalry on her ass. The LJ cavalry. *g*
