Do you have software to check your hubs for unconscious duplicate content before you publish?
All I can say is WOW, and I'm honestly not sure how to react. I can definitely see why this would be controversial!
What level of "accusation" would trigger the prohibition? Doesn't this lend itself easily to the possibility of abuse by enemies? Does this mean the search engines would have to spend more of their time checking to find the actual original source of content? Will that make article spinners even more common? What about collections of quotes?
The intent of the bill seems to be honorable and admirable. Maybe it really can be implemented justly, and I hope that would happen.
But my first reaction is: How?
I used HubDefender but that has been terminated because Edweirdo was running it at a loss. Do you have an alternative ?
I'd agree on the HOW?
I'm assuming they'd want to apply it to published offline content as well. As I'm sure anyone who's run into duplicate content on their own online work knows, it's a full time job trying to track it down and get it remove - and that's just for a few articles!
Sorry but I just don't see how this is a good investment of manpower and how on earth they can enforce it.

A while ago I checked out one hub of a suspicious writer. I mean by that, a forum post seemed to indicate that the writer was one of the get-rich-quick, I-can-teach-you-everything-you-need-to-know-to-make-a-million-online types. That was my assumption, but I could be wrong.Anyway, the...

I asked a question on a post that I felt like investigating on my own. It was regarding Google Chrome extensions and whether or not anyone had ever tried any extensions that could check for copied content. I just found one I wanted to share with all Chrome users. It is called PlagSpotter Duplicate...

So I just had an email saying one of my hubs was substandard due to duplicate content but to be honest it is content that I wrote totally off my own back and only have a couple of facts in there that are relevant. So the question is what would you advise? Should I just delete the hub and be done...

I have just written a hub last night, about a singer, who has never been written about before, apart from on her own YouTube site, and I have been wacked with a duplicate warning and unpublished!!! How on earth can it be duplicate when the whole hub came out of my brain? On top of this it says it...
