Protecting your Content

Sick of blatant plagiarism of your content on the Internet? Fear not. Thanks to a new free service called Copyscape, you may be able to stop people from lifting content from your site and using it at their site.
How do you use the Copyscape service? Simply go to the Copyscape homepage, type in the address of your webpage that you want to check for possible copyright infringements, and Copyscape will throw up a list of webpages that seem to have content very similar to yours. Should you find out that plagiarism has indeed been committed, you can then act to have your content removed from the offender’s webpage. Some useful tips on seeking legal assistance is also offered on the Copyscape website.
Copyscape is powered by Google Alert technology and uses the Google Web APIs. In the future, Copyscape may release a commercial version which allows you to set up automatic daily searches and have email reports delivered to you.
