DMCA notices are unpopular with the crowd here, but when your content is plagiarized and other people are profiting off of your work, I'd recommend the following workflow:
* Use Copyscape and perform automated plagiarized content detection.
* Automate the sending of DMCA notices to Google and the website host (using captcha solving services, if necessary).
- mianos 4y agoAs lame as it is, it's not really plagiarism when there is attribution, even if it is non obviously that URL at the top of the page.
- janosdebugs 4y agoAttribution does not exempt an author from the need to get permission. Baring a few edge cases, such as fair use, a copying without permission is still a copyright violation, attribution or not.
- JW_00000 4y agoPlagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. "Plagiarism" is not a legal thing: it's not a crime codified in law and doesn't appear in laws [1]. Instead, usually it's a violation of some internal code, e.g. a school's or newspaper's policy of integrity. As you say indeed, usually these policies only consider something plagiarism if there is a lack of (clear) attribution. However copyright is encoded in law and copyright infringement is a crime. The linked page clearly violates the copyright of OP. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Legal_aspects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism#Legal_aspects
- account42 4y agoYeah no, automated DMCA notices should never be a thing. The shoot first ask questions later mechanic of DMCA notices is bad enough but at least have the decency to verify the claims you are making.
