I am sorry to hear that you are being fleeced by internet plagiarists. I
suggest that you do the following to deal with this problem:
1. Send them a private email informing them that they have pilfered the
fruits of your labor, and that such an act is illegal.
2. If they deny that they have done anything wrong and continue to filch
your content, send them a "Cease and Desist" letter. A sample of such a
letter is shown at:

3. If they remain defiant and abuse you in return, expose these thieves
here. Display their names for all to see in this public forum.
Dear All,
This is an interesting topic
About a year ago, I wrote to many websites including that of the National
Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa to either give due credit to the
photographer OR remove the photograph of the Dudhsagar Falls from their
site. To their credit, the NIO website no longer displays that plagiarised
photograph on its website.
The South Asian Women's Forum website displays the photograph and gives due
credit (please vide footnote). It is not a commercial site as far as we
know.

Now, Please vide the following sites and the Dudhsagar photograph.
Considering that the photograph is taken from a very very usual location
...this looks very very interesting indeed
Please decide for yourself:
