What To Do If You Find Someone Is Stealing Your Web Copy

CJ — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:39:55 +0000

In the course of writing for a blog, it’s a good idea to check, periodically, to see how many backlinks your site has and how many pages have been indexed by the search engines. One very easy way to determine if a particular page has any referencing links is to run it through Copyscape.com. Copyscape will give you a list of pages that have any content that matches any of the content on the page you referred.

Occasionally, in the course of checking those pages, you might find that some asshole has taken your webcopy and pasted it on his website, word for word, and NOT given you any kind of credit.

Don’t get me wrong. If you want to copy my work to your site, I’m okay with that—as long as you post my website links either directly in the copy or as reference links. It would also be nice if you at least ASK for permission.

But if someone were to copy my work and NOT give me credit, then I am left with only one thing to do: I must take legal action. It is my legal right as owner of that intellectual property to do so.

Legal actions consist of notifying the offending site’s ISP/webhost of the copyright infringement. And legal notice, as per the DMCA, is required to be sent, either by postal mail of fax, to the webhost/ISP, where they can then investigate the matter.

Websites are shut down for such infractions. Don’t be surprised if THIS website gets shut down (NOT articlewritingnews.com, but the scumbag’s website that you are reading this from—I’m gonna get you shut down, ass-face).

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, is the act used to convince the webhost that an infringement is taking place and that you want the offending site deleted or at least blocked.

The ISP’s do not want legal action taken against them because of some website they are hosting. And in the case of copyright infringement, they ARE liable. So they go to great lengths to eliminate infringements.

According to Richard Keyt, http://www.keytlaw.com/Copyrights/cheese.htm, “The Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides that an ISP may be able to avoid copyright infringement liability arising from infringing content on a website hosted by the ISP for a customer if the ISP follows the procedures set forth in the DMCA.”

So, the ISP is protected from liability arising from having taken down the material in question.

I created this lens a long time ago, and then forgot about it. I’ve since updated it and would love to have you visit it.

Naked’s Good, Right?

OK, this one’s over and we gained about 2 dozen new readers. Leaving this post here for archival purposes.

I like Giveaways, because you can get a lot of free stuff and if you know how to look and do your research, you won’t end up with all the old, outdated stuff.

I like being a member, but I rarely become contributors to these events, largely because there are some tough upgrade requirements and a lot of OTO hassles. I don’t mind promoting a giveaway, but since I have a very small, select mailing list, I don’t usually get too many referrals. So I quit becoming a contributor to these things.

However, I just found one that does NOT have all the OTO hassles, nor the upgrade requirements. It’s stripped back to the old-school way of conducting a giveaway. For that reason, they’ve decided to call it the Naked Giveaway. LOL!

The giveaway doesn’t actually start until May 1st, but if you’re interested in becoming a contributor, click the link or the image and check it out!

Make Some Money At Triond

CJ — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:09:04 +0000

Wow!
I just found a site that will publish your articles on relevant sites and share the advertising revenues with you!

I have only just signed up, so I haven’t seen any money yet. I am in a testing phase. If this turns out to be very lucrative at all, I will post a recommendation here at the AWN blog.

Basically, you sign up, submit your content and Triond does the rest. They have a network of sites in all categories on which to publish your articles. When folks read your content, if they click on any of the advertisements on the page, you are credited. When Triond gets paid, you get paid–albeit, about a month later, but hey! An income stream is an income stream!

So, here’s a link to the “How It Works page at Triond:
How Triond works

If you have any experience with Triond, please, leave a comment! I’d love to hear your opinions!
