Sketchy Cycling Website Stole My BF Review

Wasn't sure where to post this.

On May 28, 2011, I posted a review on the Racktime Addit here on Bike Forums:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ddit-Rear-Rack

Today I discovered some sketchy cycling website had stolen this review verbatim, including all text and pictures, the very next day after I posted it, and didn't credit me or Bike Forums.

https://www.cyclebetting.com/05/2011/...dit-rear-rack/

Has this happened with other BF threads? Suggestions on how to respond?

There is a thread here about this- https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...n-another-site

Not much can be done apparently.

I have never seen anything from IB on this, but I suspect they aren't going to panic as long as bikeforums is the top hit on search engines for a particular post.

There are a number of sites that mirror all of Bikeforums
