As frustrating as it is (and it is SO frustrating), you can't prevent people from copying your work. There will always be folks like that, who just care about themselves and have zero respect for the rest of the world. Let me reassure you, though, karma is a b...
I seriously hate people who do this! So sorry this happened to you!
sux when your ideas are stolen
