Strange copyright warning...
Yesterday I noticed the dreaded "red C" on one of my album review hubs, indicating that it may have been stolen/copied.
...however, when I click on the link provided to the alleged "theft," I get a Yahoo Search result page for the album I reviewed in my article.
I scrolled through that for a few pages, and aside from the actual Yahoo Search result for my article, I see no indications that anything has been copied from me.
Sooooo....where's the "stolen" part?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Well, that’s good news in any case.
I’ve had some cases where thieves used Google redirects to hide a stolen article. Maybe this was done with Yahoo in your case. It’s hard to track those because merely following the link does not produce the copy.
Maybe it was copied by a "ghost writer"?
