More than a decade ago I posted a response to someone, on a parenting forum, who was questioning the benefits of breastmilk after 6 weeks. The post was fairly long but well thought out and structured (if I do say so myself).
A couple of years after posting it I found out that the parenting site has taken my post, verbatim, given it a headline, some pictures and advertising and had published it as an uncredited editorial. The format suggests that each section is factual and scientifically based (it’s not, I know because I wrote it).
It’s been over a decade now and it’s still standing, bringing in advertising revenue and touting itself as researched facts. The information has also been used, verbatim, on other breastfeeding sites, which blows my mind.
Periodically it pops into my brain, I check if it’s still there and get annoyed and consider if I can sue them?
Am I being pathetic and should let it go after all this time or AIBU to think website shouldn’t steal posters content?
