Issues with blog content theft
One of the big issues in blogging these days has to do with content theft. Content theft happens when someone takes a post from your blog and publishes it on his or her blog, in its entirety.
This happens because, with RSS (web feeds), it’s easy to import posts into a blog and publish them — there are actual software products out there which will automate the process. Low-life bloggers steal content so that they can use it on their blogs in place of any original content. They’re using it as filler between the ads, essentially — something to make the blog look good. These RSS bandits sometimes link back to the original blog and keep the attribution, and sometimes don’t.
Here are the views of two bloggers who have had their content stolen:
