I wrote a blog post about a meal that I cooked the other day, and some dude has posted it on his own blog. I wouldn't mind if he'd acredited me with the work. But he hasn't. How can I get him to take down the article or acredit me? I've sent an email to the listed contact on whois.sc, but it looks like a general anonymous address and I'm not too hopeful of a reply. Cheers, fcmisc. P.S. To see the offending article, the infringing page can be found on this search: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q="I...en&safe=off&rlz=1T4GFRC_enGB203GB204&filter=0 The original article is on blogspot. The spam is on koloz
Determine who is hosting his account and email them. Mention the possibility of your filing a DCMA action if the material is removed or accredited. Personally I would not accept credit. I would demand it be removed. Good luck. edit: The above should read "if the material is not removed".
Neither of you have significant traffic, so you're not losing profit and he's not making any, so I wouldn't bother over it.
It's overall a scraper site. He's done it too many more people. http://www.google.com/search?q="Peo...ls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=XkO&filter=0 is another steal he did. Contact his host or him through a whois if you're really adamant about it.
He is using Adsense. I'd go after his revenue source. http://www.google.com/adsense_dmca.html https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=18386
Welcome to the world of scraping, there's lots of blogs being built on stolen content. Report the culprit to Google and see if you can get him banned.
Looking at the search query I posted above, it appears that Koloz has been taken down. However, it's been replaced by freequality.......com. For some reason the dude has copied the first paragraph of my article, but not included the rest of it.
