Rev. David B. Smith of Fighting Fathers Ministries is infringing upon the rights of several authors on his martial arts website. Rev. David B. Smith is modifying the articles, which he obtains from article directories. In the modification he is including content on kickboxing, Christianity and he is even using his own name as a keyword in the article.
In accordance to the rules of all article directories, the article is to be published in its full entirety as shown in the article directory.
The publisher/webmaster is not entitled and does not have rights to modify the article unless it’s for grammar or spelling.
It had come to my attention that Rev. David B. Smith had made unauthorized use of my copyrighted work entitled
‘Addressing the Canadian Age of Sexual Consent’ in which he modied and included comments about kickboxing throughout the article.
After a request sent via email, Rev. David B. Smith did remove my article with a note to me that he would be contacting the public article directory and asking them to remove my article from their collection.
This just blows me away as it is Rev. David B. Smith who is clearly in violation here.
Some people I tell you. I’m not sure where Kickboxing ties in with the age of sexual consent, but I sure know that I’d like to do some kickboxing on the Rev.
This post has been modified as my critique insists I didn’t make myself clear enough.

Dear Rose,
Thanks for letting me know. This violates the writer’s agreement– they’re not supposed to manipulate or edit our material. I have emailed the website to let them know that I don’t appreciate it and they need to (at the very least) italize their comments.
Let me know if you have any other ideas for correcting this problem. The website’s comments were really dumb, by the way. I think it would be distracting and confusing to the reader.
Take care
Nicky
