    HI
    Google have just disabled the google ads from one of my forums because of copied articles from a copyrighted site .
    The articles and urls reported have already been deleted .
    THis last have reported my site to adsense and the problem is that I dont know even that my site include copyrighted artciles .
    I have managed some reported articles in the past when an author contacted me . but in this case I dont know anything and I didnt recieved any report from this company .
    I have already deleted the mentioned threads but google informed ne that i should send theme a fax in this format to restor the ad-serving.

    I wonder if the process is simple and if someone have passed the same experience ..

    here is the original email.

    THanks everyone .

    All content is automatically copyrighted. The copyright holder does not need to notify you first. You need to respond to google per their request stating "that the material identified by the complainant has been removed or disabled at the URL identified and will no longer be shown." You then need to sign it (under penalty of perjury) so be sure ALL the infringing content was removed.

    Yes , all the infringing material has been removed , I would like to know if there will be OK to Fax google . especially when they gave me only 10 days ( 4 days left) to reply theme or they will terminate my adsense account.
    The problem is thse articles was posted by some members who doesnt know about copyrighted articles .
    So I hope that it will be fine as I dont want to have problem with anyone

    thanks for your help

    Yes, it says you can fax it right in the letter they sent to you.
