Question on plagiarism from a rightwing blog

My blog Journeythroughthecortex.blogspot.com is being plagiarized by a right wing blog www.aafnh.org. Unfortunately, when I write to cloudflare, they want a list of the urls involved. I have over 40 pages of urls in question. I had provided a few sample urls and made a general statement about googling "tangled neurons" site:www.aafnh.org but apparently cloudflare can't handle that.

Does anyone know a quick way to snap out the urls that are duplicated? Is there a script on the web to do this? I don't have the time to do it manually for 40 pages.

Documenting plagiarism means providing links to the original source and to the place where it was copied illegally. There are no shortcuts.

Fortunately for you, your blogspot blog provides evidence of when your postings were made.

Good luck with this. If the host of that other blog or the owner of it do not fix the problem, the next alternative can be very costly, and probably won't be worthwhile.

On the Internet, plagiarism is everywhere.

You can search using the unix command "grep" and a regular expression. The closest thing to grep available to windoze systems is cygwin (tough for a newbie) or this:

If you have apple, you have unix commands like grep built in.
