Rionomad just messaged me a little while ago saying "Sean Clarkson"
I had no idea who that was and he went on to say something like "your pen name, I'm reading your book, why didn't you tell me"?
Then through whatsapp he told me about very specific things, even right down to almost a copy and past approach to my entries on my Invasion of SEA thread.
It's 100% my stories and this faggot has plagiarized them.
What recourse do I have?
I'm on my phone and its the only access to the forum I have right now so please forgive not having a link but this is the book on amazon.

On a more serious note thats pretty fucked up... specially since I believe you were planing to write a book and market some of your material right? Thats fucking with your lively hood when someone steals you shit like that... I hope you can get to the bottom of this and somehow have it set right.
Good luck

You'll need a lawyer that specializes in copyright.

Whoever it was obviously hasn't read about some of your more physical exploits.
Good luck with it.

The very first page of his "writing" has all the specific highlights straight from the thread.

The backstory of my character is awful.
When the guy writes his own shit its terrible.
An iraq veteran that was stationed with the worlds top mma fighters decides to come home and surprise his wife but catches her in bed with his best friend. Then his brother buys him a ticket to thailand.
God what a stupid premise.
First, why on earth did the top 50 mma fighters decide to up and join the Army?
What soldier on the planet isn't making plans months in advance for when he comes home.
Does this jackass think soldiers get discharged and don't let anyone know when all they've been doing since the day they joined is thinking about what they're going to do the day they get out?
Great imagination. I'm going to read the book, I may recognize the writing style.

Interesting. Some of the writing and stories I've written here have shown up on other sites and in YouTube comments.

Under the Digital Mmilennium Copyright Act you may be fucked, friend. A lit of places wherebyou public ally publish stories/videos without prior copyright are usually considered part of the public domain.
I am not a lawyer, though, so I may be mistaken.

You could get a lawyer, but is it even be worth it? It would cost you a few grand to have him write/send a cease and desist letter. If you use the lawyer to sue, how much could you even think of getting back? Maybe a few grand? The book isn't selling millions of copies. And for $2.99 (free if you have Kindle Unlimited), he probably will take home $5000, after Amazon gets its cut.
What he did sucks, but it was pretty clever. He spent a few hours copying and pasting, a little copy editing, and a catching title image, for a return of a few hundred or few thousand dollars.
