I have a public content thief list that I have started on my website. There are still many to be added but it is a good start. Check it here and make sure if you do something similar then you remove the chance that these sites will be clicked to. This is soley for webmaster use to make sure you are not in their content. http://www.asylum-et.com/2007/03/02/content-theft/

Blumoon asked if this fingerprint works on images. The answer is no it does not but there are surely methods that work just fine. If you are a photographer I am sure you have photoshop. You can make a watermark image and have it as big or small and as visible or transparent as you wish.

Excellent content site, thank you for the information. It has helped me a lot.

I have a few sites that are stealing my content but there are no ads and NO contact details on their sites. How do I actually contact them or report them? I am using Wordpress with Anti-leech and the Digital Fingerprints plugins but they don’t seem to be helping.

[...] As I wrote previously, there are a lot of ways to stop content theft and plagiarism. My personal favourite thing to do is to go after a plagiarists source of money. If you stop them earning then they cannot profit from their shady activities. [...]

This is a very good post, with some excellent advice. I just had somebody copy content from my website today and they removed it immediately upon request. I take it seriously, but yet you must recognize that Matt Cutts explained how there is no such thing as a duplicate content “penalty.”

I am concerned about image theft as a photographer, and a visual artist. Does this finger print work on images?
Also, would it be rude, or have legal implications, if I were to ask “who” is the bottom feeder that is stealing your content and bandwidth?
We should start a blacklist to try to stop them. : )

This is an excellent and very timely post.
I know of many people on deviantART.com that are going through quite a bit of art theft,
and recently, I discovered a site that was not only stealing my content, but they had it in frames which directly uses my site’s content.
It’s my bandwidth, my hard work, my content. I give everything away for free so it p’s me off even more.
What the dumb asses don’t realize is that we as webmasters have Access Logs that show all of the information that we want to about who visits our sites.
Thanks for the post.
I’ll pass it on.
