Fighting Online Plagiarism
Don Nicholson of Mequoda Group, LLC (Bio: www.mequoda.com/author/don-nicholas/) has written an excellent article about how to fight online plagiarism. To read his article, go to http://www.mequoda.com/articles/blogging-for-profit/how-to-defend-your-online-content-from-theft/
A brief summary was included in the May 2009 Freelance Writer’s Report published by CNW Publishing. (www.writers-editors.com) Two highlights from the article:
1. Go to www.betterwhois.com to find out the registered owner of the URL where unauthorized reproductions of your material are being displayed. This will also tell you who hosts the site.
2. Send a notice of copyright infringement to the offender’s Web host.
Again, for all the details, read Don’s article at the site listed above!
