Just for the record back in November 2011 I had an article published with Ezine Articles which I entitled "Dying To Be Me" http://ezinearticles.com/?Dying-To-Be-Me&id=6683987  sometime later my article disappeared from their directory.  I just assumed it had been moved, perhaps to one of their sub directories until a few weeks ago when I saw a post which someone had added to their wall on facebook  a post about a book  entitled "Dying To Be Me" which was published the following year. Of course I immediately thought that's the title of my article! Out of curiosity I then wrote to Ezine Articles asking what had happened to my published article & was told that it had been removed due to it having been brought to their attention that the article was recreating and using content from another author. I was astonished & upset that anyone would make such a claim against me also I had never heard of the author in question I naturally wanted proof of any such claim as I would never steal anyone else's copyright  & if I quote another author I always give credit to them or  state source unknown.

I further enquired to Ezine Articles & they said "After an investigation, it does not appear you own the copyright to the content of the article and were using content/stories from her book." " We are not able to reinstate the article". All this having happened without any communication with me! I have subsequently contacted the publisher & the author of the book, the publisher of the book says it must be some mistake as they did not approach Ezine Articles about this.

I have therefore written to Ezine Articles to request my article to be reinstated or to remove all my articles from their database as I hadn't done anything wrong. I received confirmation this morning that my article (as per the link which I added above) has now been reinstated. I have also since learned that titles of work by themselves cannot be copyrighted or maybe it's only regarded as stealing if someone uses another person's content (as in body of text from a publication or shared work)  along with a title. A lot of folks think when things are published, shared on the internet it is all fair game & a free for all & some don't even consider it stealing at all. Perhaps the best way of ensuring this doesn't happen is just not to share or have your work published on the internet at all at least not until it is in hardback or paperback print.

I am interested in hearing anyone else's stories;  if this has happened to you let me know.
