My Ruby programming tutorial was taken verbatim and published on an Italian site with no references to my site and above all under the name of the person who stole the content. I was alerted by some Italian students and was able to trace down the ’stealer’. The ’stealer’ was good enough to accept the mistake and removed his/her name and gave due credit to my site/tutorial. Probably I was lucky and wonder if my tutorial has been published in other languages on someone else’s name!

The problem is that the blog being ripped is hosted on a free service like wordpress.com where you don’t have any control on the site, otherwise it would’ve been fairly easy to block this guy from the site.
