What I Do When a Web site Steals My Work

I have been scripting this weblog for fifteen years this 12 months. For many of these years I’ve been battling with folks about copyright. Some folks assume that as a result of it says “Free Know-how for Academics” that they will take something they need and republish it wherever they need. Different folks have a misunderstanding of what honest use means. And a few folks merely do not care about copyright in any respect. That is typically the case with tremendous scuzzy and slimy web sites that use automated scripts to take all of my weblog posts and republish them. 

Sadly, over the past fifteen years I’ve grow to be moderately adept at discovering out the place web sites that steal my work are hosted and find out how to file copyright infringement notices with these internet hosting suppliers. I spent a great deal of time doing that final week (it places me in foul temper) so I made a decision to attempt to make one thing helpful with my time and recorded this video about find out how to file a DMCA takedown request with an online host. On this case the online host was Title Low-cost. The method is basically the identical whatever the internet hosting supplier. 

Hopefully, you by no means must undergo the annoyance and frustration of coping with folks stealing your work. However if you happen to do, I hope my video is useful to you. 

p.s. I am unable to wait to see this weblog publish get stolen by one of many aforementioned spammy, slimy, scuzzy web sites like Every day Dose, Trident of CNC, World New 5, and Star Children Be taught.
