Someone copied one of my Hubs, and HP gave me a copyright warning. I reported the problem, the user removed the article, but the copyright warning is still there nearly two months later. How can I get it removed?
I have the same problem, but the notice has remained now for months! I will say that the site that posted the article closed down, but the article definitely was removed. Glitch?
I have had them in the past, but they went away a lot faster.
Once the copied text is removed, it seems like it takes up to six months for the symbol to go away. I have one that's always there, but I know that's because the copied text is still there. It's in an old, inactive forum, and it's not my entire hub, but a sizable chuck of it. I gave up on having it removed. It does link to my hub, and I don't think it's taking much traffic from my hub, if any.

Does anyone know how to get the copyright symbol removed from a title? I had one of my hubs copied twice and have made the perpetrators take down my work but now my article still shows a copyright symbol next to the title. I've double checked and don't see anywhere else my story may be copied so...

Hi everyone. I've been writing for HubPages for several years now and enjoyed some success. But the copied articles are getting out of hand. Pretty much all my top earners have that little copyright claim red circle beside them. Recently one of my top earners was pasted into a forum and has cut my...

After more than a year without publishing any hubs, I've decide to start publishing again. First two items on the agenda involved finishing an unpublished hub and responding to comments. Then I decided to investigate whether any of my hubs have been plagiarized and copied elsewhere during my...
