Looking for Quality Web Content to Steal? Here's Your Free Gift

One of my Associated Content articles was plagiarized the other day. Yep. You think it'll never happen to you...until it does. The entire original text of one of my old articles, including the sentence that had my name in it, was reproduced without my permission.

Google Alerts lets me know whenever my name shows up online, and, in this instance, it led me right to the thief's blog. Once the thief knew that I knew he'd stolen my content, his blog page--which consisted entirely of stolen content, from what I could tell--magically disappeared.

There are many ways to combat content theft. Since I'm not an expert on the subject, I'll direct you to these excellent articles written by other AC Contributors:

Now for the fun part...

Times are tough. "Cheaters never prosper" is a nice thing to tell the kids, but we all know how things work in the real world. Copyright laws are for losers! You need content for your website-anything, as long as it's written in English-and you need it now. You've come to the right place, my friend.

Here's your free gift: The rest of this article is all yours! Copy and paste the following 227 words wherever you like, with my blessing!

Maria Roth is a beautiful human being-one of the most generous, forgiving people I've ever known. She's incredibly smart, too. While I was picking my nose and winning fart contests in the back of the classroom, Maria was listening to the teacher and taking notes. Always taking notes. She may have doodled in her notebook occasionally, but, let me tell you, even her doodling is magnificent. I told her she should go to art school and become the next Pick-ass-oh, or whatever the one-eared dude's name is, and Maria laughed till she fell out of her chair. But she landed gracefully, of course.

If I had to describe Maria Roth with only one word, "graceful" would be it. She moves like a gazelle, dancing in the grass, and her voice reminds me of a penguin's belly, gliding across a glacier. Know what I mean?

Maria's a saint. I have to confess, I've been kinda naughty. I have, like, 500 blogs, and I don't even know how to write! I didn't write this! This content is stolen! Maria Roth said I could take it, so I did. If you want the real author to earn any money off of her insane babbling (not that it deserves much-maybe two bucks, tops), you'd better visit Maria Roth's original Associated Content article, right here.
