This is an unplanned blog post. For the last fourteen years, the creation of beauty is art. has been my little corner of the internet. A place where I could share and create. A place where I could write freely and connect with others. This is the first time in fourteen years that I have considered packing it all in. The reason? A website, mansafashion.com has been stealing my content. Not just my words, but the pictures I have taken of products, and even pictures of me. I feel violated and angry. I feel powerless. I have tried to contact WordPress about this situation, but according to them, even though the website is "powered by WordPress," it is not a WordPress site. So, there is nothing they can do. I have also contacted someone else about what can be done. However, at this point, it is hard to be hopeful. I recognize that things are passed around and shared on the internet, but to steal every word, every picture, every thought, and stamp a fake name on it? I feel like someone has stolen my voice.
I have a request...could you please leave a comment on any of the 106 posts of mine that were blatantly stolen by manasfashion.com and ask them to remove the stolen posts? I know it is a long shot, but I don't know what else to do. Please.
These are the stolen posts, under the name Viktoria Arnold: https://mansafashion.com/author/viktoria-arnold
And to whoever is stealing my content and posting it....have the day that you deserve.
I am horrified by the despicable lengths people will go to, for their own gain. This is possibly the lowest, most cowardly form of behaviour.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that this has been done to you. I will definitely be commenting on their posts on your behalf.
Me too. It's very upsetting to see posts (and pictures) taken in their entirety. Just shamelessly. Thank you for your support <3
DeleteOh noooo, I'm so sorry for you, dear! That's horrible!
ReplyDeleteThat happened many times to my blog too, and the worst part is that you cannot do much to stop it, I totally feel you!
Gonna leave a bad comment for you (even if I don't know how good could be: it brings traffic and they can delete the comment... but let's try!)
I deeply hate these low people!

I hate that it has happened to you as well! This is ridiculous. Thank you for helping. I feel so powerless, so I appreciate your support more than I could ever express. I hate them, too. Just terrible people.
DeleteThat's utter crap. This happened to another blogger a few years ago. She hasn't blogged in ages though.
ReplyDeleteI had a look at the site and they have still kept photos of you in the posts. I am thinking it might be an AI bot type thing. You can check who owns the site and get info that way from whois, if you google that and type the domain name in. Here's a link https://who.is/whois/mansafashion.com but there isn't much info sadly. If you check under the RDAP tab, it has the Registrar Information and address. I googled it and looks like a business address, making me think it is an AI bot type thing.
Wow. I really appreciate you doing that for me and checking! Thank you. I am thinking it's not an AI bot thing only because not ALL of the posts that I have shared recently have been taken. It is only certain posts that are stolen. (But what do I know? It could be anything or anyone.) This world makes me so sad.
