Is ArticleScience.net Stealing Your Copyrighted Content?
Online content theft is growing at epidemic proportions. As hard-working marketers spend their time carefully crafting articles a new breed of article directory is busy stealing their hard work.
We took a visit to http://www.articlescience.net and did not see a single writer resource box…not a single one.
An associate of ours had previously told us that he had some articles stolen by articlescience.net. He pointed the articles out to us and it’s true, there was no link back to his website or resource box to be found.
What can you do? We think it’s time to send content thieves a message…and the message is that you can’t use our content without our permission!
Typically the first step is to verify that the content is indeed yours
The send step is to contact the website owner and tell them to remove content. In this step you will often times encounter resistance or get some lame excuse like, “I copied it from an article directory that said it was free to use”
Here’s the Whois information for articlescience.net

The third step is that you can content their hosting company.
Well, contacting their hosting company, Vortech Hosting seems useless and it appears they blatantly ignore DMCA notices. See the info below:
Vortech Hosting Ignores DMCA Notices – Part1
The fourth step that you can take is to contact Google themselves. Since articlescience.net is an Adsense publisher and has an Adsense publisher ID they are bound by the Google Adsense Terms Of Service. By using stolen content to earn money with Adsense articlescience.net is most certainly violating the Terms of Service.
