Should you be on the lookout? Damn straight. It’s part of our responsibility as “publishers” to protect our work, if that is our intent.

I threatened “legal action” (not knowing what the hell I was doing) and she attributed me as the author. As it was, there was an alinks link in the post she lifted so I got a pingback. Looking through her site and doing some googling of content, I see that every post has been lifted from somewhere and attributed to her. rrrrr.

How much should we be on the lookout for this? I don’t want people getting hits or credit for my work? I don’t get paid for it, why should anybody else ;)

Though the DMCA is a U.S.-only law, one would be absolutely amazed at the percentage of servers hosted in the United States.

A year or so ago, I encountered a case where a Chinese man used a Brazilian host that was renting servers from an American company. Since most of the major reseller hosts are in the U.S. and the law applies to wherever the server physically rests, U.S. law (or similar law) governs the vast, vast majority of sites out there.

All it takes is a little detective work.

Regardless, thank you VERY much for the write up. I’m extremely honored. I’m glad you loved the article!
