As I said at the beginning, all of this can be very disheartening when all you want to do is write or post your art/photos to the Web. But it's worth it. By starting a campaign to regularly pursue copyright violations, you let plagiarizers know that your content is not readily available. And they will eventually choose some other way to make their illicit money.
It's worth the hassle (and the postage). You work hard to create your content, why should someone else benefit from it without your permission?
