My blogspot is copied at wordpress
-
Hi,
Some blog which is hosted at wordpress copies all the post from my blogspot blog and publish on its blog. He/She is doing so via feed. The post is copied word by word.
He includes link to my blog post in source but this duplicate content issue is hurting my blog very seriously in Google search rankings.
This is a very serious issue.

http://www.voip-movoip.info/2008/12/21/cheap-calls-to-myanmar-bamar-talk-international-calling-cardsThe above wordpress has posted almost all the post from my blogspot blog. The URL list is too long. This blog is also copying content from several other blogs.
Even the images posted are directly lifted from my blogger account. Please take the appropriate against this wordpress hosted blog.
Thanks,
Madhur

The blog that you claim has copied your posts is not hosted here at wordpress.COM. It is self-hosted at a web host so wordpress.COM will not be able to help you with that since wordpress.COM has no control over self-hosted blogs.
You will have to file a DMCA violation notice with the blog owner, and if that does not solve the issue, you will have to do the same with their web host. Most web hosts act very quickly when it comes to copyright violations.
You can get the blog owners contact information, as well as the web host’s information by doing a “whois” search. Here is one: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/voip-movoip.info
You can also read more about the differences between wordpress.COM, the free hosting service, and wordpress.ORG, the people who make the self-hosted software here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1

Ok I got the difference between those hosted at wordpress and those using wordpress software. I have already tried contacting via whois info but all in vain.
I will try to contact his host.
Thanks

As I said, in my experience web hosts act very quickly on this stuff since they can get their domains pulled if they don’t.

Lets hope so, coz this duplicate content thing is very badly hurting my blogspot blog.

I fight this stuff quite a bit. It’s a never ending battle. Too many out there think anything posted on the internet is free for the taking.
Sigh!

sacredpath – some websites have right-click copy and paste disabled – any idea if it’s doable at WP? Mind you, from your comment, it’s probably not.

@ronsrealm, no it is not possible here, and it does little good really. Once someone views your web page, that information is downloaded to their browser cache, and all they have to do to copy something is do a “view source and take it out of the HTML, or in the case of images (or text for that matter) do a screen print/capture.
Basically, if you have something you really don’t want copied by others, don’t put it on the web. That is the only way to ensure that it does not get copied. I’ve sent out up to 6 DCMA take-down requests in a week before. Some people just don’t realize that they are doing something wrong when they copy something, but others simply don’t care. It’s sad, but that is the reality of the internet.
