It's not a cool new trend -- people have been plagiarizing other peoples' writing for a long time. I would like to believe that it's just a mistake, but it's much more likely IMO that it is exactly what it appears to be -- someone has set up a site to "republish" articles under the site's banner, in violation of your copyright. Don't know what, if any, legal recourse you have.
