		<description>Ugh!!! I hate that, Stealing content is just wrong. 

If I take anyone&#039;s content ever it always has back links to the source. I never steal stuff and call it my own. Unless I bought the private label rights to have that right. 

What also ticks me off is when people steal my aweber feed and auto-post my emails on their blog. I found 17 people doing that to me. 

Total lack or respect and I feel it is an invasion of privacy.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s sad that these mentalities are found. I recentlty discovered someone who was building his own famous over the foundation of my articles by copying them &#039;as is&#039; with few minor changes by placing his name. He was even copying my pages, so I dropped him a line by commenting and waited 48 hours before taking other actions.

Now he felt scared and deleted the content from his site but I am following to see other places!</description>

		<description>I just had my first experience with this. I was checking a problem with my feed in Google reader and noticed that there is a site that has a feed showing jumbled up content from various posts from my site.  I&#039;m not sure what benefit they&#039;d get from this as it doesn&#039;t even make sense the way they&#039;ve put it together, and it appears to be a travel site.  None of my content is about travelling. Go figure!!  

Thanks for the tips for dealing with this subject- I&#039;ll be testing them out shortly.</description>

		<description>How is auto-blogging EVER a good thing, or to be encouraged? It seems to dilute the quality of content on the internet in a big way. One of the earlier comments, probably Ching Ya herself, said something along those lines, about content dilution.

This is just one aspect of plagiarism in general. We&#039;ve got some ethical questioning of whether it is right or wrong in our society right now, so until that gets resolved, I think it will remain a problem.  E.g. see New York Times OpEd from early August 2010 about why plagiarism is NOT immoral versus opposing view from Democrat Charles Schumer Congressman endorsing copyright protection for fashion designers.

In the meantime, Copyscape is an excellent suggestion. There are also several anti-plagiarism tools out there, one of which is Grammerly.com.

Thank you, Ching Ya, for your informative article.</description>

		<description>The problem here is that you cannot win this war against the scrappers. It&#039;s easy for people to put up a website now a days and add scrapped content to it. Even if I find the scrapper site out and raise a DMCA, the site-owner might put up another scrapper site with a different domain name.

And the worst thing is when established article sites like &#039;articlebase.com&#039; approve scrapped content without checking. Anyone can submit articles to a site like articlebase and no matter how many DMCA I raise, I will not be able to deal with the problem. 

I run a article directory too, but I ensure that people only submit original content. Check everything thought copyscape. It&#039;s surprising that sites like articlebase who are infact &#039;google adsense parterns&#039; allow scrapped content. These websites have thousands of backlinks and therefore the chances are that their scrapped content will rank high up than the original article. So these sites should really hire quality labor and ensure scrapped content does not go live.

But we are in a helpless situation here where the spammers win unless you have the time and energy required to keep sending copyright emails.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been on the other side of this before.  When my site was in its early stages, I had a staff writer who wrote very good content and never missed a deadline.

One week she submitted a ver batim copy of a CNN article from the previous day (not a headline article, but one that is in a niche that I follow).  I very quickly spot-checked other articles of hers (by doing a copy/paste of a few sentences into Google).

Yeah, they all found identical content on other sites - a wide variety of sites (many of which seemed to be small, single-person sites).

Needless to say, the articles were purged from the site minutes later and I notified the &quot;writer&quot; that she was no longer welcome on the staff.

The funny thing is that she feigned ignorance and accused me of being a homophobe (the article touched on the treatment of a homosexual man several decades ago, but obviously this was not the reason for my negative reaction to the article submission).

Responsible site owners definitely don&#039;t want plagiarized content on their site.</description>

		<description>I usually start from basic:
Use few plugins like Watermark reloaded, RSS footer that helps a lot..
Apart from that if someone is being shameless..First I ask them to remove the content within 48 hours.. If admin don&#039;t respond..I usually report it to hosting and most of the time it worked for me....</description>

		<description>Thanks for the tips ching, the google spam report tool will come in handy in case some one messes up with one of my posts. 

One thing that happened to me last year ( or maybe even now ) is image theft. No matter what you do , people can steal your images and post them in their own blog / sites / portfolios , only way to avoid this is putting an ugly watermark on your images , or if a good samaritan tells you your images have been ripped.</description>
