    I seem to be getting good at these... so I thought I would share my recent blog post on what I think is the best process to follow when you find out someone else is stealing your content!

    Read the full blog story here.

    1. Try contacting the site first. In some cases the site will take down the copyright infringing content to avoid legal problems.

    2. If that does not work, your next best bet is to send a DMCA infringement violation to their hosting company. Most hosting companies don't want the burden of pending legal action against them for hosting known copyright infringed content.

    3. To further put a kink in their site, be sure to properly file a DMCA infringement violation with both Google and Yahoo.

    4. Next go after their revenue partners. Most sites use Google Adsense. If you report the infringement to the Adsense team, etc.

    5. Sit back and wait. You've done your job. Let Google and the others do their job.
