Sites that have Plagiarized TryUkraine.com

As a site with unique, useful, and well-structured information, TryUkraine.com is regularly plagiarized — not only by sleazy, poorly designed sites who don't have anything of interest to say themselves, but also by seemingly respectable, very well-designed sites who position themselves as "authoritative" sources on Ukraine. Yes, these people copy and paste paragraphs of text, photographs, and sometimes even entire articles directly from TryUkraine.com. In most cases the motivation is to create a semblance of real content on a strictly commercial site.

Of course, all of this is an infringement of copyright laws. In some cases, when I threaten webmasters, they ask if they can keep an entire article stolen from my site, but place a link to my page at the end of it ! Sort of like publishing someone else's book under one's own name and writing "courtesy of So-and-So" on the last page right after "The End." Ridiculous!

Sure, I am willing to let you post an entire article from my site on your site if you plaster every single page of your website with multiple TryUkraine banners.
