An Llc run website has lifted a comment I made and reposted it in a for-profit section of its site.
The comment was made at a separate, unrelated site. I explicitly stated that the comment was not to be used by the Llc run site, and that the authors of the site did not have permission to use my comment. The comment was originally posted unattributed, but after I asked for my words to be removed, my name was added to the comment. I did not give my name, nor did I ask for it to be attributed to me. I asked only that the comment be removed from the website completely.
The comment was copied and pasted exactly, except for the final line. The final line stated that the website did not have my permission to repost the comment.
This is not an isolated incident. The Llc has been doing this to many people over the past 2 weeks. They ignore any statement disallowing use, and refuse to remove the offending post. Do I have any legal recourse, especially in light of the fact that they are making money off of my words?
I should note that while the Llc is located in Utah, I am in Texas.
Thank you.
