It is much easier to take material that belongs to others than to create their own work for some people. It is a shame really. I believe takers should spend more time on learning how to be more creative.

The instructions within this article are the steps you need to take. If it comes to the point of taking legal action, then you have to. Please, do not publicize the plagiarist as that can bring legal action against you worse than the copyright violation you are bringing against them. Good luck.

great site and post regarding content theft. I have been blogging for about 1.5 months and now my most popular post has been stolen several times.

it’s a Google “blogger” account, and I filled out the proper removal reporting + request but heard nothing back.

Meanwhile I tried to contact the offender, and the only way I could send something was via a “comment” and of course that was moderated and they never posted my comment.

So, then I threatened legal action against them, and same thing nothing.

Any tips?

You seem to be more successful at getting them to remove the post possibly.

*BTW I also tried to capture their ISP and all of that info that I read about in another “WordPress help” post, but was not able to capture that info.

I can send you the link in private I suppose as I do not want to post it here and thus maybe give it even more publicity.

Please help!

We exchanged several messages. He said I’ll have to pay hundreds of dollars to a lawyer to go after him. He also said that he isn’t my biggest problem (how does he know?). I asked him to add my name and link to his plagiarized articles; he said he’d try but that blog owners usually won’t do that. I think this is false in the case of honest bloggers. I also asked him to add my name and link in a Comment that he can post to his articles. He never replied.

One of his articles says “powered by WordPress” at the bottom. Would this qualify for me to complain about him to WordPress?

I found a page on WordPress for reporting copyright infringement http://automattic.com/dmca/ but it’s intimidating in that they threaten to go after you with lawyers and make you pay legal costs if they don’t think they violated copyright; and they say they’ll report you to ChillingEffects and other websites if you can’t prove copyright infringement.

For all you copycats, don’t be so lazy. You’re bound to get caught anyway.
