DMCA Complaints for Advertising Networks to Stop Stolen Blog Content
If you’re like an increasing number of bloggers, you may be finding that some of your content is being “scraped” or lifted and displayed on other sites, without your permission, without a link back to your blog, and without any attribution to you whatsoever. In many, if not most, cases, such actions constitute at least plagiarism and at worst plagiarism and copyright infringement.
At his excellent blog, Plagiarism Today, Jonathan Bailey explains how to find the policies of major advertising networks concerning the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and how to work with those companies to file complaints and have your content removed from various sites.
While you are there, I recommend that you spend some time at the blog and add it to your newsfeed aggregator and reader. Plagiarism Today contains a wealth of information that will help you protect your online content from authorized use and reproduction.
