Copyright and photo theft

I am sure you can. Or you can use Teeny Eye or whatever is called. But why am I going to spend all my time every day going through my blog posts to see whether someone has taken my text or my photos?
Seven years of blogging on far more than one blog, would leave me with no spare hours in a day, if I was obsessively looking for theft all the time.
The preferred solution is that people don’t take someone else’s work. How difficult is that?

TinEye and Google Image search basically do the same thing.

Even by your own discussion and forum thread, very, apparently. Here’s a post I wrote last year on the subject: http://gammagirl.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/holding-on-vs-letting-go-the-future-of-online-imagery/
I’ve been asked to write on a couple of blogs where the posts are all made up of guest posts, with no obvious link back to the original author. How stupid do people think I am?
There’s a whole “thing” about that. The post on timethief’s site is worth a read.

Sorry to be late to the party….
First, I’m glad the DMCA report took care of the issue quickly, and thanks for writing a positive ‘review’ on your blog! :)
As for the other blog being “spam”, the best thing to do is report it using the drop-down tool in your admin bar. Staff review all such reports and will take appropriate action. Please note, however, that a site that consists of a lot of reblogs is not generally considered spam for that act alone, if the content is generally acceptable. Even so, we do look at all reports individually, and appreciate all reports, as that helps us keep spam off of WordPress.com.
