Tangent but: Does google have any official way to combat this?
It seems like an easy enough problem to solve. As the content-creator, you could submit your content first to some kind of registry, so that google could identify you as the true author. Does anything like this exist? If not, why not?

Another tip is to add a canonical link back to your article in the content of feed articles. e.g. rel="canonical"
