Ever since the docstoc event, Ive been implementing a small piece of text into all my hubs.
JoshuaSunforged ©2009 http//hubpages.com/hub/How-to-use-SheToldMe-com-Earn-from-your-backlinks (the url is of course changed for each hub)..i took out the ":" so it wouldnt be a live link in the forum
It wont stop anybody from stealing content, but lots of time this process is automated, a software "scrapes" all the text off the page...now, I can search for the unique term "JoshuaSunforged ©2009" and see if it posp up anywhere it shouldnt, the inclusion of the URL, is for teh really lazy thiefs, who may not even notice either giving me a back link or just making my anti-theft reactions that much easier.
You can make a copyright symbol yourself - by either copying and pasting it or using the keyboard combo of:
Alt+0169
©
in html documents the code is
& # 169 (take out the spaces)
hope you never get scraped, but a little unique trackable code can be helpful
Good suggestion, I think I will apply that fancy bit of knowledge thanks
I've been lazy about it, but I really need to do this. Not that anyone would want to steal any of my content...
Thanks, sunforged!
This is great. Thank you. I only had two articles stolen from that sob at docstoc but would like to prevent this as much as I can for the future.
Excellent suggestion! And I always wondered how to make that little symbol...
Thanks, never could find that symbol. I've been writing copyright by Jane@CM on my hubs.

Since there has been a number of cases of stolen HP content, and the upcoming feature, I was thinking that instead of all hubbers creating a Copyright notice, maybe HubPages could create an automatic message that shows somewhere on each hub.And for those that would rather create their own message...

Hi, Team - We know you can't file DMCA complaints on behalf of our work, but would it be possible to alert Hubbers when major scrapers are found in various categories, so we can all individually check for our content?For example - there were probably many more Hubbers affected by the 'Dan Gordon'...

I recently found the entirety of one of my hubs, including images, reposted on Quora as an answer.After submitting a DMCA claim, the author of that answer filed a counter claim. His arguments are:- He posted the link to my hub before the duplicate content.- Tens of thousands of Quora members do...

I have a suggestion. At the bottom of the article you can choose to add a copyright, which includes the date. I used to put my own in without the date, but you can't do that anymore. The reason I did it that way is because I think, when people see a date of several years ago on an article, they...
