According to HG101's Twitter, DMCA takedown notices were sent to gamexentral earlier today.

RPGFan and Gaming-Age have gotten back in touch with me to tell me that this guy was not authorized to use their material, so I expect the DMCA smack down will continue.

Cached copy of the plagiarized article via Google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... clnk&gl=us

This kind of nonsense is unacceptable, it's a shame that this "Warren Nicholas" will likely be able to get away with it, creating some new alias or whatnot and just moving on. I'm personally a big fan of the work and articles at HG101 so it's a shame to see someone so blatantly stealing their content.

Well, FWIW, following Nicholas' author link from the cached gives:

Browsing all articles by Warren Nicholas.

Sorry. No articles were found that match your criteria.


So if he had submitted other stuff to them, it's all been pulled down.
