Someone is copying my blogs

    I've found a site that's been copying my blogs and posting them on their own site, word for word!

    Is there anything I can do about this? Obviously it's going to count as duplicate content and I could be deamed to be the one copying the articles.

    Any advice please?

    Thanks

    Are the copying word for word, or rewritting content a little?

    Some lines are translated as it's in another language (not english) but about 98% of it is copied. And they've taken out the links I had on lots of anchor text.

    I'm raging right now!

    There isn't any contact info on the site.

    Put a DMCA complaint in. That will fix it.

    Report it to their hosting provider. This happened to me before where someone copied a successful forum of mine. I don't put up with stuff like that.

    Google "DMCA" or Digital Millenium Copyright Act. You will see what to do.

    I hope I could say being copied is the greatest compliment.

    if you can't trace the xerox copier, you can always put a kind of warning on your blog that says something like:

    This blog is illegaly duplicated at www.xeroxcopier.com. Hurray to me! (then put an angry smiley at the end). :p

    At least they'll know who's the original.

    depends on their intelligence
    if they're smart,
    this copy that will become that copy this :p

    and it'll lead to blog war
    which'll lead to more visitors to either side or both
    which means $$$

    :( who's up for copying my blog? :D $$

    How do they do this? Do they take your feeds? If so / limit how much you let them have, say just first 100 chars or along these lines.
