After years of finding my personal documents on google, I finally got a win and got docstoc to remove my documents!<\/p>\n
I’m a paranoid person and I like to keep tabs on my online presence so I started googling my name every month or so. About two years ago I noticed that some of my personal documents got onto this lame website, docstoc. One of the documents was my resume (outdated) and a paper I wrote in college.<\/p>\n
If you googled my name, this website would come up where you could download the documents.<\/p>\n
I tried emailing docstoc several times to get them removed but they refused. They said I needed copyright status or whatever. It’s like, it’s a college paper and a resume. It’s no secret that the resume was mine considering it had my name and my email on it (the same email I used to email them). And who gets their college papers copyrighted anyway?<\/p>\n
I emailed them earlier this evening and again asked them to be removed. I cited the usernames who shared them. These were two usernames consisting of weird characters, obviously not real people. I also said that if they did not comply, I would be contacting a lawyer.<\/p>\n
That seemed to do the trick. They wrote me back and removed the documents. I’m a happy and accomplished Janny tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
