   dat is werkelijk slecht. Hoe lang bent u die geven bastaard om u te beantwoorden?
   u weet u zijn blog populair maakt, nu heeft hij een andere verbinding in technorati van uw blog…
   wat is de volgende stap als hij niet antwoordt?
   goed, in elk geval, u uw lezerssteun zo enkel vertelt ons wat hebt om te doen

   salut!

   Zijn droevig wordt om uw inhoud te zien gestolen zonder enige kredieten. De inhoud wordt gekopi�ërd van voer RSS, veronderstel ik hij een plugin zoals autoblog zou kunnen in werking stellen om dit te doen. Ik onderzoek zijn blog, heeft hij postenpartij van andere blogs ook gekopi�ërd.

   Mean while you send him a email to remove the content and also send a DMCA notification to his host http://xcesshost.com/

   @Ernesto Quezada,
   I have added “nofollow” to the link to his blog. Lets see if he removes the content.

   @Ram,
   Thanks very much for the information. I’m contacting his host also.

   Am Also Facing the same problem with one of my Blog . That guy is using my RSS feed to copy all those contents.

   I also mailed him so many times, but didn,t get any response from his end. So kindly let me know what to do.

5. ram Sep 25th, 2007 at 5:27 pm

   I would suggest you also add a copyright notice to your RSS feed, it won’t prevent people from using it but it helps in knowing how is copying the content

6. Sharique Sep 25th, 2007 at 5:36 pm

   There is a hotlink protection plugin for wordpress that works wonderfully. No need to waste time modifying your .htaccess

7. Rajesh Sep 25th, 2007 at 5:52 pm

   Nirmal,this is horrible. After reading your post, I ran my blog on Copyscape and find that a recent post on a real life incident has been lifted and hosted on ibibo. I have reported too and let’s see what action is taken. Meanwhile, you should not leave this guy and keep us posted on what happens, since this is something of great common interest.

8. Vijay Sep 25th, 2007 at 5:58 pm

   Atleast this means that Nirmaltv.com is getting popular, eh? Seriously though, wait for the replies from the person and also from the host before deciding your next course of action!

9. Haris Sep 25th, 2007 at 5:59 pm

   That’s really sad. Recetly, I was also into the same case, but I contacted the blog owner, warned him (even threatened him a bit :p) and he removed the post instantly

10. RJ Sep 25th, 2007 at 6:24 pm

    

    While you wait for the paper trail to go back and forth, why not create a post saying exactly what you think about this copycat and how he has lifted - without permission or credit - your work.

    I presume he’s using your RSS feed, so in all probability this ‘open-letter’ post will get displayed on his blog, about his blog!

    

11. nirmaltv Sep 25th, 2007 at 6:54 pm

    @Ram,
    Thanks for that info.

    @Sharique,
    I think with that plugin sometimes images are blocked in feeds also.

    @Rajesh,
    I will surely keep posted about the happenings.

    @Vijay,
    I’m waiting for his response.

    @Harris,
    A bit of threatening is good.

    @RJ,
    I will compose a post if he still keeps all my posts. I too think he is using my feeds to copy the posts.

12. Ashwin Sep 25th, 2007 at 7:26 pm

    Nirmal - feel good! Why?

    1. Plagiarism is the best way of flattery.
    2. You get free links
    3. Your content is good and popular.
    4. No need to worry abt the readers leaving your site or SERPs as well.

    

13. Madhur Kapoor Sep 25th, 2007 at 8:06 pm

    This thing is spreading . I hope your gets solved soon .

14. Shivaranjan Sep 25th, 2007 at 8:07 pm

    Nirmal-
    He is using adsense on his site so write to adsense team also. If his account his banned he will be hit hard and the very purpose of content stealing will come to an end.

15. Shankar Ganesh Sep 25th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

    The best thing to do if he _doesn’t respond_ would be to contact the host.

    Do check this site - http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/ - it’s got loads of resources to help you out

16. rahul Sep 25th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

    plagiarism is like piracy that never stop,but as Ashwin says it shows how popular your content.

    but as shivranjan says google soon find it as duplicate content so he gotcha very soon

17. Keith Dsouza Sep 25th, 2007 at 9:22 pm

    Hi Nirmal,

    I am facing the exact same problem and it is from multiple such sites, one such site has even higher SERP than me and I have already informed Google Webmasters but am not sure if it will help or not.

    Keith

18. nirmaltv Sep 25th, 2007 at 9:39 pm

    @Ashwin,
    It may be good as long as you have better SERP than the copied content, otherwise it could be harmful.

    @Shivaranjan,
    I’m planning to contact adsense team also, let me see if it works out.

    @Shankar,
    Thanks for that link, I’ll check it.

    @Keith,
    Looks like plagiarism is on a rise in blogosphere. Lots of good blogs are being copied.

19. Binny V A Sep 25th, 2007 at 10:50 pm

    I am going to go against the rest of the guys here - but I think this is just something you have to accept. Its like spam - you hate it - but there is nothing much you can do about it. You can take down one scrapper - but ten rises to take its place.

    You found the site because it had a link to you - most scrapping site don’t have a link back.

    The only thing you can do is make your feeds partial - and I am really against that.

20. indyank Sep 25th, 2007 at 11:16 pm

    ignore him….The worst thing is stealing your bandwidth by hotlinking…so take action on that immediately…

21. Brown Baron Sep 25th, 2007 at 11:51 pm

    I’ve seen that autoblog thing a few times. I hope you get everything settled buddy.

22. JoeTech.com Sep 26th, 2007 at 1:53 am

    Once, someone copied my whole site (my other PR5 site, not my JoeTech.com) and put it on Tripod. They didn’t fix anything to link to images or anything. It looked like crap and was up for months before I got Tripod to remove it. Good luck.

23. indyankk Sep 26th, 2007 at 10:32 am

    Hey Nirmal, i noticed even this post in that website…very funny…But I have seen several sites doing this earlier with full feeds.This is one of the biggest risks in allowing full feeds.I have even seen some sites aggregating full feeds from various blogs….

24. nirmaltv Sep 26th, 2007 at 10:57 am

    It really bad that someone copies content from others hard work and that too using auto blog feature. This post is also updated in his blog.
    Thanks everyone for your support.

    @Indyankk,
    Yea this post is also visible on his blog. Full feeds has this risk!

25. Suresh Sep 26th, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    Hi Nirmal,

    It’s frustrating to see our content plagiarised.Search engines still have no clue of content source.It may affect visitor traffic via search engines.Please inform google adsense and they will block his ads

26. khairilz Sep 26th, 2007 at 2:26 pm

    just wait..i will remove the content immediately!but if you allowed i will give credit to your post..so you get free backlinks..

27. JennyHow Sep 26th, 2007 at 2:42 pm

    these are becoming more n more common in the blogosphere these days. i’m also been facing alot of such problems lately, but don’t hv a solution yet.

28. syahid ali Sep 28th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    sorry for the tragedy nirmal. some malaysians are like that. they don’t respect copyrights.

29. clara Oct 2nd, 2007 at 1:02 pm

    This has happened to my tips site about 2 years ago. It was indeed stressful!

30. Myo Kyaw Htun Oct 2nd, 2007 at 3:01 pm

    Give a BIG Kick to his ASS !!!

31. Davinder Oct 3rd, 2007 at 1:05 am
