Guys I need your help!
I found almost all my hubs copied on a website. I should have reported her by filing a DCMI, which I have successfully done in the past with other sites. The only problem is, she has my exact content but with different synonyms replacing my words in each sentence. The structure, layout, subheadings and everything else are mine. I don't know what this is called...is it spinning? Oh yeah, she also adds in her own paragraph intro before she proceeds copying and editing the rest of my work.
How do I get her to take down all these articles? Please help :,(
As long as it's predominantly like yours, you can still file a DMCA. I had something taken down which was a spun copy of my work.
Thank you so much! I'll try to do that.
You got some good advice I see. Just want to say that really STINKS when people grab other peoples work like you described. I've had that happen on a blog and it was a real pain getting the copied work removed from the Internet. Sorry that happened to you.
What that person is doing is called plagiarism. Dictionary.com defines plagiarism as:
Noun: an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author
Yes, file a DMCA.

This hubber , listed as "Sara Algoe", has posted 34 hubs in the last 7 days. I have tagged at least 4 of them as being copied from other sources on the net. Some of them come from sites where people can access term papers. Would anyone else like to confirm this. I have put the...

There is so much of this going on that it may not be worthwhile to mention. Since I know that this site is not cooperative, I sent my DMCA complaint to Google. My hub is copied word for word with all the lovely photographs and even a link to another similar hub. It probably is my best hub with lots...

I am not going to drag up the recent massive plagiarism activity again, but - as you know Maddie - I have found that quite a lot of my hubs have been de-indexed and my traffic here is dropping despite publishing new work and despite actively promoting myself outside of hubpages. I realize that it...

Hi everyone, I had this one suggestion to prevent stolen hubs, how about making hubs cannot be copied by restricting selection using javascript or any script? This is kind a simple script. Or give the authors the ability to add this script to their hubs?Or when someone is copying a hub, a script...

I read through the forum threads concerning bigezines, and I decided to go and look for content that might have been copied from my hubs. I used copyscape but there's a limit to how many links you can scan using the free version.So I managed to find a couple of sites that had copied at least one of...
