Spammers are disgusting. It’s always a good thing to have their Adsense accounts banned when they indulge into illegal activities. Well done!

It arranges it so that, when properly notified, hosts remove content that is infringing in order to ensure that they can not be held liable for the infringement.

Nancy: Sending a DMCA isn’t hard at all, the worst part is finding out who to send it to. If you need a stock template you can find them on the Web, including on my site.

Do you think you can let us know what you wrote in the DMCA notices? Is it complicated to write up?

Peter: The DMCA is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. It is a U.S. law that has many parts but the important one here is that it addresses under what circumstances Web hosts can be held liable for infringement by their users. It arranges it so that, when properly notified, hosts remove content that is infringing in order to ensure that they can not be held liable for the infringement.

It is probably the single most important law when protecting your content.

You can read more about it here: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf

I hope that helps!

Thank you for reporting about this.

I’ve had an author recently copy and paste one of my most popular articles [the link I included] - and “quote” me as the source for ONE paragraph halfway through the article.

If it was automated bot-scraping I’d actually be relieved… It would feel less premeditated and personal.

The article even begins and ends with quotations that I transcribed from podcasts I was citing, making it even more obvious. The overall effect is that he authored the article, piecing together a variety of sources, and then has the nerve to “mention” my original post.

Direct correspondence has resulted in the author apologizing and promising to correct it, on multiple occasions.

I’ve refrained from even discussing it because I don’t want to actually CONTRIBUTE traffic or attention to the offender.

I haven’t received response from Google, and wonder if I even register on their radar enough to matter. I’m sure they have worse cases to deal with.

Your victory is encouraging.
I’m eager for any advice you have on this kind of scenario.
