OK.  I did, and I will.  (And thanks for the warning!)

I'm sharing because it's very likely that the outfit
concerned also buys gardening articles (although the
particular article in question wasn't about gardening, but
about cooking).

I sold an article for publication at an 'online magazine'
site owned by an outfit named Myria.com.  The terms of the
sale were clear.  I have the email from them that states the
terms of the sale.

The article was to be published on a site they own called
"ChefMom".  The sale was for one-time publication on
ChefMom, with copyright retained by me.  I now find the
article also published on another of their websites, namely
SheKnows.com.

This isn't as bad as Doreen's case, but it's not right
either, and as far as I know, it is a violation of
copyright. [Disclaimer: I'm not a copyright lawyer or
expert.]  It is my belief that I should receive additional
compensation for it, or they should pull the article from
the second website.  

I've written to them already.
