I have recently been shocked to learn that someone has been copying my sims freeplay posts onto their website as if they were their own.
I would just like to inform everyone that copying my posts and using them as your own is stealing and illegal, just because its on the internet doesn’t make it free to use as your own and it is breaking copyrighting laws.
My posts take hours to plan and write up, all that time and effort for it just to be copied in seconds is unacceptable and I will take action on anyone who does this.
If any of my posts are on your website please remove them immediately or include ‘written by The Girl Who Games, taken from thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com’ at the top and bottom of each post before further action is taken.
If you like my posts and would like to add one to your website please ask my permission first.
Sorry for the need for this post.
Thanks for reading!

I’m so sorry to hear that someone has plagiarized your work. I hate plagiarism! As an academic, it has happened to me on a few occasions. I now password protect shared documents and place a watermark across ones that are printed. People don’t understand that written work is intellectual property and will just copy and paste without any respect for the original author. I’ve been trying to instil in my students how important it is to cite their sources. I hate to suggest it, but you might have to create a watermark to protect your posts. I hope that you can solve this issue.
BTW: I love your blog! Thanks for all the hard work.
I hate it too! And you never really expect it to happen but I am looking into ways to prevent it in the future so that will be on my list of things to look into! Thanks 🙂
I have solved this issue now, so hopefully it won’t happen again!
Thank you!
why didn´t they just copy your link, it takes less time than copying the whole post :))))
I know and it wasn’t just one post it was about 15
I’m so sorry to hear that someone was doing that! You’ve clearly put so much effort into this blog, and so many people appreciate your work. I hope the person doing it has stopped. I think pretty much everyone here who regularly reads your posts is totally behind you on this!
Thank you, luckily they have removed them all now, I just hope it doesn’t happen again!
So sorry that happen to you. Hopefully you can find out who did this and take action. You are such a pleasant person and I’m very fond of you. I have grand & great-grandchildren and you are such a nice young lady
Oh thank you so much 🙂 that’s so nice!
I have sorted out the issue now, hopefully it won’t happen again!
I hope they would feel guilty about what they had done. Your blog is hardwork and i see lots of passion. I am an avid fan of your work. God bless you and this blog.
Oh thank you, that’s very kind! 🙂
