Depends upon the usage. If your copyright states no commercial use of your content even if it is Fair Use, then you have some grounds, though it probably wouldn’t hold up in a court of law. But if this person is using your content per Fair Use restrictions, then there isn’t much you can do. Make sure your copyright is clear on what you will or will not allow and then move accordingly.

I have discovered one webmaster at “strange things a foot” on WordPress who seeds articles from other articles directories. He uses seeds of my articles in different pages, monetizes those pages by AdSense and directs traffic to those articles directories, but not a single link to my website. Is this enough to report him to Google?

Hi Lorelle,

I teach a Web Design class thru a Yahoo group. My biggest problem is getting the students to understand that the copyright and fair use laws pertain to them as well as the rest of the world. Many of them assume because what they do is a hobby the laws don’t apply to them. I’ve put your URL in my copyright page that I send out in my classes.

Thank you for a fantastic page and useful information,

MsSue
