Troll? Ridiculous?
Look, when you put something online, it's like leaving your Cadillac
in South Tucson with the keys in the ignition. I've been developing
content for the Web for 10+ years, and it's not worth my time to go
running after every single person that tries to rip me off. Most
people along the way have been cool by asking for permission to
republish my articles---and I usually give it to them.
When so many things are going the way of FOSS and Creative Commons,
prosecuting 14-year-olds becomes a losing battle.
YMMV.
