Stolen blog posts + content!

yes.... I do think its futile BUT I never said or implied lets all just steal content.

in my opinion time would be better spent protecting future stuff from getting stolen.

but again Its just my opinion

Ahh, yes, for a couple blog posts, I would simply send a DMCA notice to the company hosting the site.

Disable or Cripple RSS in wordpress by restricting to 1 post in the feed, and using summary instead of full-text.

hey guys, first of all thanx for all the tips and opinions...

the thing is that the guy says they are using automatic system that takes my articles.. BUT, they are editing the post - sometimes they are changing the amount of the samples, they always take off one of the links in the post (the one that goes to some random photo on the net), and they ALWAYS change my link codes with theirs... so, I don't think this has to do anything with RSS or any automation.. they are simply stealing and that's it!

as for content - yes, some of the content is from affiliate programs, but most of it is actually from members areas which I got access to by my program owners..

now, so far I informed the program owner about it, and most of them said they're gonna report them for using unauthorized content, I contact their registar, and they can't do anything about it... I also contacted their host, and haven't heard from them yet.. I didnt file a DMCA on them yet (simply cause I thought all these other things should work).. but, I will do that later today I think...

but the worst thing is that they haven't changed ANYTHING about the blog yet, my posts are still up there (along with stolen posts from some other blogs, I just found out), and they are actually offering me to join their future project!?!?

thanks for your help once again.. any new ideas are welcome, and I will keep you informed on hows this going..

thanks

If your entire post is being quoted without the appropriate citation, then that is an actionable problem.

Be a little more proactive. In the long term protect your intellectual property via copyright and trademark where appropriate.
