Know when your site content is copied

[user-7256]

Hi,

I stumbled upon COPYSCAPE earlier today and found its service VERY impressive.

I also was interested enough to find some copied content. I've contacted the owner and he said he would remove it

They also have a thing where you can sign up and get plagiarism alerts when somebody copies your site. But that's $10 a month.

You can search whole site or just a single page. It's very cool. They even highlight the copied text when you click on the links.

Enjoy.

I do too brian

[brianmn]

What can you do about somebody copying your stuff?

What if they refuse to remove the content?

 

[user-7256]

You can take them to court, as long as you have some sort of proof you made it first.

http://www.LawFAQ.info should answer most of your questions.

how can you be so sure it was copied?
No one would really copy content without modification. If someone copied the .css file, how can you know it is unique?

It is not about finding sites that copy your design or cascading style sheets. It is for checking the actual content of the pages.

If something has several paragraphs that are word for word as long as you did not copy it and wrote it yourself it is pretty much safe to assume they copied it.
