This is not the > first time I've had to do this. Over the past three or four years, I have various different websites republish my content without my permission. Some with my by-line and some without any attribution. When asked, they have politely removed my content. Sometimes, I wonder if some website makers (I don't use the term "editor") don't understand about reusing content. Another thing that is strange, is that an online media company that I worked for a couple years ago, put my by-line on a variety of articles that I never even wrote (or knew nothing about until a couple months ago). I think it may have accidently been done when they migrated some websites (and maybe when the article was missing a by-line it used the previous one since they forgot to blank it out). Jeremy C.
