how ironic.

“3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit Blogger to contact you (email address is preferred).”

yet they don’t have an email for you to contact with. Somehow I think blogger (google) did this to make it as painful as possible so not everyone tries to report copyright infringement.

Ya, I must say that the its a damn waste of time chasing after these copycats who will stop at nothing to copy blog posts and the expense of the originating blogs.

And they refuse to stop inspite of my repeated warnings knowing that the whole thing about copyright infringement is a very complex issue.

Jeff, I am sad to read about your challenges and trials and of those of people like Enlightenment who are not getting the much deserved credit for the content that you have created. Being a blogger is tough. I feel for you. If you have a blog or run a content-heavy web site there is no doubt that you have invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears into creating your content. The real issue is the fact that your content IS leaving your site and being used elsewhere such as on another blog, in an email, in a Word doc or another web site. So, when it does, why not make sure it does something beneficial for you?

I work at a company called Tynt and we have created a way to help you get the credit that you deserve for the content that you have created. Presently, we are beta testing a service which will track when and what content people copy from your site and it will automatically add an attribution tag at the end of the copied section when it is pasted into an email, website or doc. This way YOU get the credit for YOUR work. In our tests so far we have found that this can drive more traffic to your site, increase your search engine rankings, and give you insight into what content users are engaging with and what content they take off your site. Another benefit is that it will make it easier to prove that you created the content.

The best news is that right now since we are doing beta testing you can try it for free. Just go to tynt.com.

Hello! How did the story finish? How quick was Google to answer and what was their answer? We are a group of science bloggers from Romania and we have just the same problem ourselves right now, with one blogger blog that copies articles from us (and other science blog). We would hope that Google bans his account if they are convinced that he is copying illegally our content. Even if he mentions the source and puts a link to us, he still does not have the right to use our material. Thanks, for your answers. Adrian Buzatu, http://www.StiintaAzi.ro (Romania).

Some guy from blogger ripped huge parts of my site, and claim he wrote it himself, Ive had so many problems sometimes I just want to give up, I write a site about someone who says he has attained enlightnement, anyway so many people rip off his teachings saying that it is theirs, they all want to say that have got enlightenment as well, now some r'sole using a blogger account ripped about 200 words and now I have to go through all this fax or post nonsense wasting my time and money on an international fax, all the other sites have a contact for copyright,

I am going to email them and threaten blogger, I shouldnt have to post or fax things, its just a way for them to cut back on admin costs as half the people wont bother

Well, almost everything written in this blog has been copied by automated blogs. Im tring my best not to waste too much time tracking/reporting these blogs but its a major problem that all bloggers are facing now adays.

I currently have to ways to find out who copied my content, its not perfect but its better than nothing:

1) Since im using wordpress, Technorati is always showing me blogs “Admin Dashboard”, that are linking to my blog. So, I would check these blogs. Most of the time its these automated blogs that would copy your content and linkback to you at the buttom of the article.

2) I search my articles “titles” in google. Most of the time, my article page would show up in google results and if someone else has copied the article, it would also show up in the results.

How many articles do you estimate were copied from your site(s)? Do you plan on continuing to track these infringements? It seems like a big waste of time. Is there an automated system that can do it for you? I hope you are able to gain some ground on all this illegal activity. More power to you.
