In 2000 (and on a few other occasions) I published and claimed copyright on this exercise description (bolding added now):
Clean Pull :
The clean pull is a medium grip deadlift to above the knees, and then accelerating to the toes and simultaneously shrugging your shoulders in the top position. Basically the technique is as per the deadlift except for the more aggressive acceleration in the second pull. The criteria for load selection in addition to trunk/hip/scapula technique, is the height and speed of the pull (on toes and traps). Avoid any elbow flexion until the last moment, at which time allow the bar to rise if the acceleration has been significant.
I was conducting research and I came upon the following exercise in a publication copyright claimed by another 'author' at a subsequent date (bolding added):

And I said to myself: “That looks familiar!” So I cross-referenced it and I said to myself: “Wow! No wonder that looked familiar!”
I noted that the use of this description was in the absence of credits or references to the origin or permission to use from the original author (myself), and that the 'author' claimed copyright....
