Stupid enough to not have your details hidden, shady enough to steal damn right I will call your ass out in public on a forum!! 15% is not accurate he took our entire introduction and copied it word for word!! More like 98% of content theft there!

It makes me sick when other people think they can just steal content. Hopefully with the new Panda updates, Google finds a way to detect and ban these thieves from the results.

What can someone do if they catch someone stealing most of their content? Can you get the offending site banned? Would love to know for future reference in case this ever happens to me.

It used to be a simple case of contacting a hosting provider pointing out the scrapped content and 9 times outa 10 the host would close the site. But not these days. Lately its becoming a PITA most times.

Most times a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice will work on US hosts. However other countries can be painful and insist unless a court order is produced the host wont take any action.

There are services which claim they can have sites pulled with 24 hours with a DMCA. But at $90 bucks for each action it can mount up, espeically if you get no results. Besides what's preventing the content thief just setting up shop on another host and doing it all again.

I'm holding hope with Panda. I've seen sites who have been using my content take a drastic nose dive in the serps lately. Whilst it's my content their using, if they not ranking then their not stealing money out of my pocket.
