Warning to plagiarists! (What victims can do to you)

I found another article of mine (again, copied and pasted word for word) in someone else’s blog . She kept some links on the post but didn’t give me due credit or mentioned anywhere that I was the one who wrote it, and she claims all her site’s content are hers unless otherwise indicated. It says there also, to ask permission if anyone wanted to use something from her site but she didn’t ask permission to use one from mine, and it’s being passed on as her work. 

It’s intellectual piracy and this time, I’m not going to take it sitting down, I’m writing about it and warning anyone who will do the same that there is a law on intellectual property AND the original author of the work you’ve pirated can have your site/blog shut down and suspended. This can happen to you!

To the bloggers and writers online – Protect your WORK! You spend time putting words together to produce something worth reading and someone just steals them from you and gets credit, traffic, even fame for something that doesn’t even belong to them.

Here’s a gadget a friend of mine introduced me to, recently (unfortunately, I’ve only had the time to use this after this incident) by EmbedAnything. It will protect your article from being copied and pasted without due credit.

Instead of just copying and pasting, they will have to embed a code that will embed the article along with a link back to your site (page where they are getting the post). It also has an option on how many words can be embedded from your posts no matter how many they copy.  If they try to edit the html code, the article will not embed.

This would also be handy for forums that allow embedding of comments using html codes.

CHECK IT OUT!
