Plagiarism by AlaskaPsychiatryJournal.net

I received an email this morning (from Etta) notifying me that Alaskapsychiatryjournal.net is reprinting my text without proper attribution of my work as clearly stated in my Creative Commons license.  

Anna Adrift by Anna Hertel is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License.

I urge fellow mental health blog writers to check their site to see if they are publishing your information as well without proper attribution. 

This is a copy of the "ticket" I sent to their webhosting service (as there isn't a "contact us" feature on their site), along with a screen shot of the Alaska website depicting their incredible lack of understanding the written word and what it means to properly attribute text...

     Subject: Plagiarism by your client, AlaskaPsychiatryJournal.net

I am reporting plagiarism by your client, AlaskaPsychiatryJournal.net .

I am the author of a blog with mental health journals as well as psychiatric and neuroscience research published posts. I currently have a Creative Commons license (Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License). The terms for redistribution of my work are clearly stated, specifying:

" Attribution — You must attribute this work to Anna Hertel (with this link) Anna Hertel / CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 "

AlaskaPsychiatryJournal.net is *not* following this procedure. They have a link to my blog, however credit for the post is given to "admin", and the above link to the license terms is not inserted on their post either.

This reflects poorly on your company as you choose to serve clients who simply cannot follow the law. I am not the first blog owner they have done this with; I did not know about it until another blog writer send me a message detailing the situation.

I expect to hear a prompt response.

Thank you.

Ann Hertel

I urge you to please check the site for copies of your own work that may be published without proper attribution or right. If you find such, a complaint can be made to their web hosting service, http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.customerCenter , or by clicking here , and then selecting the "Create a Ticket" link on the lower right corner. I hope if enough complaints are filed, they will force this website to follow the terms of our licenses.

Damn, I am kinda pissed about this whole thing. It's not right. Granted, not nearly the end of the world, but "not right" nonetheless. And I get all riled up when people and groups do not follow the freaking law. 

Grrrr.
