Recently, I had to face multiple attacks of content theft. The most of the spammers were using Blogger.com (blogspot) for republishing my articles with full text and images. I got many alerts on fairshare.cc regarding this.
This all made me sad — because I invest a lot of time for discovering content to share on my blog. :(
Unfortunately, Blogger is the best blogging platform for spammer. Although, it does not provide much customization and control — but Adsense and other third party ad networks are OK with it and hence, spammers find it great!
If you are facing such painful condition, here is a ray of hope for you — Blogger accepts DMCA / Copyright theft complaints now! Earlier, it was a tough process but now just an online request is enough for it. To file a complaint use this contact form.
DMCA – The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, is a US law protecting copyrights of publishers.
As you submit your request, Blogger team consider it and if found correct, it asks the spammer to delete the post in 3 days else Blogger deletes the post itself. :)
