This article is hilarious, he didn't even change the name of your blog in it.
Not only is he a thief, but a damn stupid one.

This is absolutely hilarious! Yeah, he's totally going to get away with this.

He might be just a kid who doesn't know better - I suggest to calmly explain to him that copyright doesn't work like he thinks it does, so that he might learn something. Don't spend more than 5 minutes on it though, since (according to his behavior so far) there's a good chance that any explanations will fall on deaf ears. And yes, I'd definitely report him.

If someone copied an article from me, and was genuinely interested in the content, then I would suggest working something out instead. Cooperations between bloggers are impoprtant to gain visibility. However, in the case you're experiencing, the sad fact is that he doesn't seem to have anything to offer, and his immature behavior makes him a bad candidate for any form of cooperation anyway.

So true, thank you. I'll send him a message via comment on his latest stolen article. Should I tell him that it is against the law and his site could be taken down as well as Google IP banning him from particular services?

I think the most important thing he needs to understand is that every piece of work is automatically copyrighted by the author, and that copying something and adding a "coypright by me" note doesn't grant him copyright, but is a violation of the law he's trying to exploit instead. I don't know much about the IP banning stuff, and the "threat level" of mentioning it might be too high, but you're already giving it too much thought imho. ;)

Lol, yeah. I filed a separate claim for each of the stolen articles and I linked him to a page that explains all of that.

I hope he takes it down.. he's certainly stopped posting them since I made that comment.

I link to Wikipedia when I can't be bothered explaining things.

LOL Yeah, I considered that. This just seemed to get to the point a tad bit quicker.

Threats like that rarely work. You should always try the polite, "please remove my content and ask for permission next time" approach first.

About three minutes ago, he replied to a comment, reiterating that stuff isn't copyrighted unless you file paperwork. Now he's removed all the comments. What a dipshit.

I think he doesn't understand that copyright isn't patents.
