But if that person is just too lazy to link back, maybe you can make the "Share this" function more intuitive by separating out the "E-mail" component. Another thing you can do is add a line just below the title (or somewhere in the body of the article) which has some kind of reference or link back to the site. Don't put it at the end because that's too easy to remove when cutting and pasting. If the person still removes the link even though it's in the middle of the article, they're probably doing it deliberately and there isn't much you can do about it, unfortunately.
