This is exactly what I was trying to point out. If you put an article about something, be sure to link it.

  It drives me crazy when this doesn't happen– especially in news articles talking about some study here or there- why not link to the actual study?! I end up having to Google for it, click around a bunch of bad navigation... very painful.

    I've recently (and when I say recently, I mean less than 24 hours ago) found out that one nationally known tabloid actually copied my work on their site without any indications on where they found out about it. Of course, they haven't even put a link to the original work (which I published on my blog), but they were kind enough to let their readers know that "researchers" found out about it. I can't even explain how frustrated I currently am by their action.

      Could you use a DMCA-like thing to get them to stop doing that?
      - fapjacks 12y ago
        AFAIK anybody can use the DMCA just like the record labels are using to take down tons of Youtube videos. There are customizable form letters out there for this very purpose.

        DMCA only works in the USA. I work for a Portuguese record label and we get ignored when we ask the local Youtube copycats to remove our copyrighted content. I even suspect they download the videos from Youtube to upload on their services. And I'm talking about sites owned by the biggest telecommunications providers.

        Sure, DMCA is an American legal construct. At this point it'd be a good idea to get in touch with a lawyer and see with the appropriate course of action for your country is.

        Didn't you read the part about the sites being owned by the biggest telecom companies? They sue people for €10 debts (or they used to while they were allowed) because they have an army of lawyers receiving paychecks, needing to work to justify those paychecks... At most, we, a small indie record label, would be a welcome distraction to those guys.

        Although they clearly broke my CY-BY-SA license by not sharing their work under the same license and not giving me any attribution, I'm not exactly sure what can I do to take it down, Hiring a lawyer for this is not an option for me considering that I'm just a student on a low budget.

        As this comment's uncle pointed out, you can probably find a "fill in the blank" DMCA notice somewhere on the net. If that doesn't work, many lawyers give free consultations (AFAIK), and there's probably someone willing to take the case in exchange for X% of the settlement.

        Send to their ISP. Usually that's very efficient.

        That could work, but I think that in the case of a "nationally known tabloid" chances are low.

    I remember writing a blog post [1] (for another publication) about my project and the day it was published, I realized there was not a single link to my project (it had screenshots and all). I immediately made a PR to fix it, but it was a funny and glaring omission. I just didn't realize the link was missing because I wrote it in Markdown and never looked at the rendered version.
