Plagiarism, no question.

It's great that you and precious few others have chosen to out these frauds. I have to wonder again and again: what is it these people take away when they steal others' words? What a bummer. Get a life!

Anyway.

A final thought. I've heard once or twice that these thieves will target lesser known writers. In other words, not necessarily only the budding Hemingway's

Being relatively unknown does not make the writer a bad writer. Often, and has been proven countless times, there are many very good writers, I mean very good writers who still havent been 'found'. Could be the writer still hasn't caught on to the marketing games, the tricks to get oneself out there in the publics eye, and the utter lack of desire to 'play the game'.

But that these thieves know this and will research the unknowns.

Food for thought.

Great piece, thanks.
