Duane Lester and the Assertion of Copyright.

I got to meet Duane Lester of All-American Blogger last week at the Breitbart Awards thing.  Duane’s a good guy who won the Breitbart Blogger Award ; but what may be more of immediate interest is this post from last month entitled “How to Assert Copyright Over Your Work When It’s Been Plagiarized.”  Which happens far too often, albeit not as drastically and/or comprehensively as it did to Duane.

As the video below shows, Duane ended up getting paid for his work:

…and I recommend that people read the original article, too: it will walk you through putting together an actual cease-and-desist letter, should you ever get stuck in this situation.  Check it out.
