   Why can't these site install programming that prevents it. HP has something that picks up copied content.

   I don't know enough about how it all works to talk intelligently, but how are some websites able to block you from right clicking on their material?  I ran across one earlier today where I was trying to highlight a long name that I didn't want to have to remember how to spell before trying to Google it.  That site had blocked it where you couldn't right click and copy anything and mentioned that their material was copyrighted, blah, blah, blah.  It was annoying for what I was trying to do, but it sure would be handy in cases like this.

   This is how the guy did it! Look on DocStoc they have a program to upload all files from a FOLDER! They are downloading all the content with a spiderbot, saving to a directory, then using this provided by DocStoc to upload!
   
   "Docstoc Sync is a downloadable application that runs on your PC or Mac. You can select which folders you wish to sync with Docstoc. The application will check these folders for changes and automatically sync any new or updated documents with Docstoc MyDocs. By default, Docstoc Sync will upload and sync all your documents privately on Docstoc, so no one else can view these documents without your permission. In addition Docstoc Sync installs a folder on your desktop called "Docstoc Public Documents", where you can easily upload any document to Docstoc publicly. "

    Just dropped a line to the docstoc.com team:
    
    Dear Docstoc.com
    
    Your site currently has published hundreds of thousands of articles containing stolen material.
    
    Since 09/11/09, a user with multiple profiles:( shifta, shiftb shiftc, shiftd etc and also shift1, shift2, shift3 etc.) has been bulk uploading copied material.
    Each profile has 10,000 - 20,000 aticles. Another offender is 'Q16899'
    
    This is obviously a major issue and will have serious repercussions for your site. Many targetted authors at hubpages.com have informed google adsense as this is a breach of their TOS.
    
    I am concerned by your lack of quality control. Any form of control should flag a user uploading hundreds of thousands, if not millions of articles.
    
    It seems wise to remove these articles immediately to limit the damage being done to the reputation of your site.
    
    If you have truely been unaware, you have now been informed.

    This is awful, I am gutted. But it explains a lot. Even Mark Knowles has been experiencing poor traffic.

             For now. There are 400,000 about copied. With 250,000 views already. If you wait anther month and no one stops him, you might find they would have more. One of Jimmy's hubs has 257 views on it there.

             Wow, it's taken me about an hour to get through all the pages of this thread, stopping a few times to search for my hubs over there....when I searched docster Q16899, all the "shifts" came up!
             
             Sunforged - so can any hubber search for their content over there by using the link you posted (below) and replace hubber id?

                No, take 2-3 lines of your Hub to Google and search it in " ". If it is copied it will pop up.
                
                If google omitted results, click show.

                   thranax, since many of the hubs have been uploaded there over the past few days, they may not show up in Google yet.

                      My graphic design program hub was cached 2 hours by google before I found it. They are being added to google quickly.

    Everyone I've looked at has at least one copied.  In that many days, why wouldn't they copy everyone? Crank it out 24/7.  Perhaps they spread it out over that many screenames to avoid detection.

    So, Sunforged, you're always one of the most knowledgable (if not THE most knowledgable) about this type of thing.  Any ray of "feel ok-ness" with this?  I realize it's something that we're always subject to, but other than reporting it as many of us have already done, what else is there to do, but to carry on writing hubs? 
    
    The way I see it, if I stop publishing hubs, then yes, they have nothing more of mine to copy, but neither am I getting the hits I would be getting. 
    
    I guess my hope too is that the powers that be will take care of it fairly quickly.  Obviously nothing is going to happen on a Sunday night and tomorrow is a holiday for many businesses in the US.

       This process is very common, there are many sites that allow you to upload full files and folders such as this one in question (Scribd was another that was frequently used in this respect)
       
       The scammers and black hatters that use these methods dont expect to get the full backlash of a communtity .
       
       Unfortunately, no there is nothing ok about this - there are no backlinks back to our original articles, Sometimes I dont care if an article is copied, because they leave all my affiliate links in place and I still get traffic and another backlink, with this format there are no benefits for us as writers.
       
       
       Hubpages should assist in cancelling any account associated with the URL trackers mentioned (I havent seen that yet), to remove incentive
       
       first:
       Everyone who cares should send copyright complaints to adsense
       http://www.google.com/adsense_dmca.html
       
       Threatening the websites earnings for failure to create a safe system should be first.
       
       Then individually contacting the website (How annoying that we have to do this!)

    well for docstoc -

    He has 4 of mine.
    
    Ironically, he has my 3 hubs which have never earnt me a cent. And they are my '50 Great Hubs chosen by 50 Great Hubbers' articles, and the 'Hubbers on Twitter directory'.
    
    The other one however, about hard drives, is in my top 10 earning hubs. He hasnt had any views yet, but Im still pissed.

       You might not have earned any money off those 2 because he got the click instead on his copied one.

    I know there were quite a few of early in this thread that filed complaints with DMCA, filed complaints with Google Adsense and some of us wrote emails to copyright@docstoc.com.
    
    So, if enough of us do that, it'll be hard to ignore.  Obviously, if upper management gets involved, as I'm sure they will, we should at least get some sort of result from this.
