  Don’t post it on the web. Anything posted on the web will eventually be copied and used by someone else. Everyone who posts things they create on the web faces this issue.

  For some ways to combat it, do a search for DCMA, splogs or sploggers here in the forum, and also on the web.

  You’re welcome. I wish I had a silver bullet solution for splogging and plagiarism, but there simply isn’t one.

  I put out 5 to 10 DMCA requests per month from stuff taken from my blogs and I’m successful in probably 75% of cases, but each month there are new violations of my copyright. It’s a never ending battle.
