I want to know what you do about poetry or anything else that is an obvious plagerism and where to send you an email to notify you. I've just come across SEVERAL things that have been plagerized and frankly, Im pissed.

I know what ya mean .... I saw someone post a poem up here ther other day ... it had more than a few references to a poem that i posted about a month or so ago ...

I never put any of my "good" poems up here or anywhere else unless i get them copyrighted.

that's the biggest reason when I write a story, or a poem I never look at someone else's work. Cause there can sometimes be a conflict on what is yours, or someone elses most of the stories, or poems I wrote on here came from other things I've already written a long time ago, or have wrote on already and posted on my myspace account, or I will just sit down, and start too write a new story that come from my thoughts.

I can agree with you there if the work was copyrighted, and someone reads a line, two, or three, and intentionally borrows the lines in their work then yes it is theft, and noone has any right too intentionally borrow someone else's idea too make it their own.
