I said this on Vidhya's thread but in case someone is to talk to the admin, I have a suggestion for concrete action by the admin:
I have been plagiarized before---some of my articles I sold to clients got ripped off and published under other names on other sites, where the site earned revenue from my work.
My clients reported the site to google, and it got taken down. In fact the IF admin should also do it cos this is leading to loss in revenue--Ads from all search engines punish duplicate content.
Here's how to do it:(http://www.reportplagiarismnow.com/report-plagiarism-now-report-plagiarism-to-google-in-3-easy-steps/)
I've copied their article below:
Reporting plagiarism to Google can be done in three very simple steps. In fact, if you intend to report plagiarism now, you might be surprised to know that Google will take action against offenders in a very short time- in some cases in a matter of hours. This is critical to understand because most people who have been plagiarized incorrectly think that little can be done about it. However, the fact is that you can report plagiarism to Google in as little as 5 minutes, and the offender could be banned within hours. Use the following 3 steps to take action against plagiarizers:
1.) In order to report plagiarism, you must detect it. Use a free tool like Copyscape to find copies of your content online. You can also use a search engine in a similar way by pasting short passages of your work into Yahoo or Bing or any other SE to find copies of that work. Once you find duplicate content out there, you must examine it closely in order to determine if these instances are within your republishing rights, or if they are harmless mistakes or outright plagiarism or copyright infringement.
2.) Gather as much evidence as you can. Take screenshots of every web page on a particular site that shows your work that has been plagiarized. Save these images and the corresponding URLs in a safe place after printing them to have a hard copy record. Collect the same data from the original version of your work.
3.) Report plagiarism to Google by clicking here: http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=lr_dmca&product=adsense. Then, simply follow the instructions. You'll provide some basic details about yourself and your contact information, and then you'll be asked for details about the content theft. The entire form is easy and can be completed in about two minutes.
Reporting plagiarism to Google usually yields results in about a day, as the company acts very swiftly on legitimate cases- especially on sites that have AdSense installed. You can also download the form and submit it via mail or fax, but this method adds significant delays. In fact, many people take no action other than to report plagiarism to Google, primarily because this is such an effective tactic.
