PMC is a wonderful site to upload projects, texture packs, skins, servers and mods. Blog are included however you can't really "steal" blogs.
People upload many different submissions and about 90% of them are original, however there is that tiny 10% that is absolutely unoriginal.
Since PMC has a rank-up platform that means that people just want to be the highest level possible. (Will soon post blog about that too.) Being a very high level really means nothing, you just have more features and a higher level tag by your name. However people interpret this differently. The unoriginal content producers just want to rank up. Being a higher level to them means people "looking" up to you or "respecting" you. I don't find it that way. Level ranking just shows how many submissions you have posted and how good your submissions are. People that upload unoriginal content that looks really good but not created by them do indeed get more XP from this.
There are many different sites similar to PMC where you can upload different submissions. People on those sites that upload their content probably have no idea what PMC is. So they provide a download link or an embed code and voila. The unoriginal content providers zap that stolen project on PMC and claim it as their own.
Usually it is quite hard to figure out that a submission isn't someones, but I have created a list on how to find out if someone's content is rightfully theirs or not.
1. Look at the person's other content, if it doesn't match the quality of the unoriginal one, something isn't right.
2. Observe how quick the person uploads content. (Sometimes this tactic doesn't always work)
3. Ask other people if they think the person is unoriginal
These are just some tips on how to find out if something is unoriginal or not. I'm sure there are plenty of other tips on how to find them.
The main point is, if you ever see any type of unoriginal content, don't hesitate to report it. A Moderator will see it, review it and if needed, will remove the submission.
Thanks for your time, together we can all stop those unoriginal providers!

If anyone knows a way to remove the white background from copying from Word could they please tell me?
I hate seeing all of the same stuff around. Especially when it's reposts/bad edits.
If people really want to submit something, they could at least have the decency of starting it from scrap, or just posting a link to the original submission!
What's the satisfaction in getting diamonds and praise, if what you are being praised about isn't your work to begin with?
I just don't get these people.
I don't say I'm that original myself, I base my skins off already existing characters. But I never ever stole something, I try to make my pieces into quality work, and always credit when I take inspiration from someone's work. Why can't people do the same?
i had a person out there with an duplicate of one of my more popular skins.. they just edited a few pixels (claimed it was better) and re-uploaded it ..
he claimed i was having a fit (using less colourful words here)
and than I amazingly got a downvote on all my latest skins.. (i think they stopped as i had around 40+ submissions at the time)
gota love those people's :p
It Sucks
I Once Made A map
And Posted It On Another Forum To Share But Than This Guy
Toke It And Posted it On Some Forum.
I Told him That He Copied It And I Wouldn't get Him Into Trouble if He Just Removed It
But He Said I Was lying.
I Eventually Won It Back But Knowing How Hard
You Worked On It Just To Have Some Tool Take It Sucks.
I had made a really interesting texture pack, so I wanted to start including it on other sites, but then I found my own texture pack, Mentioned in a forum on here, on a couple other sites, and even reviewed in a youtube video. All credited to someone else.
Everything's been better since then, it's credited to me now, but it really sucks to have that happen to you.
