Jonathan - Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Yes, I will come to your site and read through your article. Thanks.
And yes, I’ll shamelessly ask you questions should there is anything I don’t understand.

When it comes to content theft, there is a lot you can do, you might want to look at a post on my site right now entitled ” Making the Switch: Going From Partial to Full Feeds”. It isn’t directly aimed at this, though my entire site is, but it does list several key WP plugins you might want to use.

I don’t know if you can use plugins with your install, but consider using AntiLeech and CopyFeed if you can. They can help you out a great deal in this area.

Copyscape, which you mentioned, is a great tool though the banners are pretty much useless since most content theft takes place via the RSS feed, meaning that plagiarists never see the site at all.

As for Costa’s answer, I have to disagree. Adsense will not do much about content theft unless you submit a DMCA notice. I have templates on my site in the stock letters section and the contact information in my DMCA contact information list.

That approach is usually best followed by filing a DMCA notice with the host and getting the work removed. Even though you are not from the U.S. you can use the law against any and all U.S.-based sites.

I’m sorry for not offering more direct links, but I’m having trouble lately with my comments being marked as junk so I have to be stingy with the URLs.

I hope this helps and please do not hesitate to contact me if I can help in any way. If there is a specific case you want me to have a look at, just let me know!

Just click on the ” ads by google” link at he bottom of their ads and you should know what to do. Since we cannot stop them, that is the least we can do. Make them lose all their earnings.
