    Hey all ...

    I've just finished a host of articles wich are written by me... I know that it's automatically copyrighted and that it's not allowed to copy it without my permission... But how would I know that it's now being copied ?

    Are there any ways of knowing this ?

    Regards,

    Once again copywriting or copyright?

    There is a difference in both terms, however you can avoid others copy your articles.

    The only you can do is monitoring closely by searching on the net using a phrase to recognize your content, then proceed against the offenders.

    It's quite clear that the post was about how to make sure nobody steals the original content ... And it's clear that when someone writes something, there is an automatic copyright applied to it according to law.

    You can use copyscape everyonce in awhile to check for duplicates of your content on the web.

    The only way to ensure they don't get stolen is to not publish them. This, of course, negates the whole purpose. Regular searches or a service like copyscape is your best defense.

    There are some programming tricks you can do, but they generally make people want to steal your content just to spite you. In addition, they only work against the average user. If you are writing articles for other sites, there is not much you can do about there security measures. Trying to prevent copying from the browser is a lot of work and in the end not worth the time.

    I don't think it is worth the time trying to stop. You would end up spending hours per day just tracking that info. Instead work on building more unique articles and getting inbound links to them.

    Even if you find that someone is copying them, probably there will be some crappy sites and you can not even discuss with them.
    So, the best way is constantly to add fresh content
