I’m a little clueless about how to deal with blogs that “steal” 100% of my content, i’m not just talking of this blog, i have a couple of blogs and all have problems with content thief stealing every single word.
I don’t mind at all if it was just an excerpt but this blogs use the same titles and content and re-post it on their blog(s).
For example my posts on this blog has made many appreances on this blog, i couldn’t find a way to contact the owner so i couldn’t tell him/her that i want my content removed, this blog is also taking content from my Football Blog.
What should/can I do? anyone have the answer for this? I’s appreciate it very much.
Thanks

Not sure what you can do about it. Have you complained to their host?

Well, it seems that it’s doing it automatically. So write a php script to block that IP or the host or something. Figure out how it’s doing it, then block it somehow.

Thanks for the tip Deaf Musician.

Just write to them. That’s what I did, and it works. I use whois to track one guy who did it – fortunately it wasn’t private.

Granted, I don’t know the full extent of the situation, but a quick look at the sites and it appears to me that they are all hosted within the United States. It should be trivial to file DMCA notices with their hosts and get your content removed. Usually that takes place in abnout 72 hours.
If you need any help with that, just send me an email, I’ll gladly do what I can.
Hope that this helps!
