Copying other people's material for your Hubs, Blogs or Websites
What do you think about those people who get ahead by copying other people's material to get ahead on the internet? Do you think they are thieves or simply cleverer than the rest of us?
They have no skill of their own, their only skill is copying. Let them do what they know best as we all know its not going to take them anywhere
They are not enjoying writing. They just think, that if get more hub you'll earn more money. NO, you'll not, because secret is in original text! And you have to enjoy the time, when you write.
If you check your content for copyright infringement regularly and send DMCA complaints to Google, the copied content will eventually be removed from the web. If Google receives a number of these complaints associated to the same IP address, these people copying other people's material will be banned for life. Obviously, they are not clever at all! Just a pain in the a**!
It should be big no no.....coping other's content is not good thing to do on web but unfortunately people do that kind of stuff. It will be ok to see how your compitator doing and what they are providing on given topic, even you can get inspiration from it. Never copy them.....!
It is a pity that people make so much money from copying. At the end of the day it is on their consciences

In the past few days, I have received two Google Alerts about my HubPages' Username, ThePracticalMommy. Usually when I get these alerts, it's concerning people who stole my content and used it on their website, but these past two have been foreign sites who just use my username and that's it. I'm...

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to hubpages, I have one article posted already, I strive for quality and it takes some time. That being said, I have noticed that hubpages rules state that we (the authors) own our own work and that hubpages simply supplies the software to publish that work. That is...

Hi. I used to blog a little before I started HubPages. My blogs were more like articles and this is one reason why I was glad to find Hubpages. I have deleted all my blogs except for two, and I have copied and pasted a few of my articles and made hubs out of them. I was wondering,...

I realized today that one of my hubs has been copied and re-published on two different websites. I was looking at my Google Analytics and noticed someone had searched on a complete sentence or two from one of my hubs. When I searched the sentence on Google myself I saw the other websites that...
