Thanks for your feedback. After thinking on what you said I've removed the copy of the email you sent to me from the post above.

The reason I had included it in the first place is because I thought it was the RIGHT thing to do…it was giving you an opportunity to say your peace. I felt that it would be unfair NOT to tell your side of it.

I also felt I made a very clear distinction between what I found at your site and what I found at the other sites, which had completely ripped off my copy.

As far as the rest of the post goes, I'm keeping it up. There's nothing (besides your email to me) that wasn't readily available on the Internet for anyone to find. All I did was put the pieces together to help people who have had their work plagiarized.

While it's true that I could have written the posts w/o mentioning the businesses that I found through Copyscape, that would have been a very dull piece indeed. Also, I'm not to worried about "damaging other businesses" that have stolen my intellectual property. I also think I was clear that I didn't lump you into this group, just that I found you through the software.

I would like to clear up a couple of points, though.

I didn't SLANDER anyone. Slander is defined as "words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another." There was nothing false about what I said.

I didn't cache anything. That information is cached by servies readily available on the Web, I just linked to them.

As far as my "own disturbed purpose," I don't think that naming people publically who have stolen from me–again, not lumping you in there–is disturbed.

No, I don't own any piece of copyscape.
