But the only way to avoid work being copied is never to publish it especially not on the internet. Even if the person didn't copy it, there are hundreds of scrappers, and automated tools that have already made hundreds or thousands of copies of that content. So hunting down wikias that use it, while giving you notice and opportunity to be attributed seems excessive. In fact, it is highly likely that someone (aside from wikia) is actually getting a profit from it at this very moment.

Unfortunately, that's reality of life and internet. Give a group of lawyers a lot of money and time, and they'd probably claim and possibly prove that your prized wiki has also violated copyright.

Personally, I couldn't care less if someone copies the content  I've created in  wikias. In fact, I've actually encouraged people who have created related (translated) wikis or pages in other languages.

As Mark Twain is claimed to have said:

"The kernel, the soul — let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual and valuable material of all human utterances — is plagiarism"
