When I naively starting blogging, it never occurred to me that I would have problems that I’m sure many other bloggers are having these days. I’m talking about blog article piracy. I recently discovered more than 15 sites who have decided upon themselves to take one of my most hard-worked articles and stick it up on their site. For example, look at this site who took my entire article and slapped it on thier site: http:// www*webknowhow*net/dir/Other_Resources/articles/SmartRedirect.html (remove spaces and replace *’s with .’s).

Now this is petty compared to all the other kinds of piracy that goes on, I am aware of this. But where does it end? What sort of options does a blogger have in his or her defense? I don’t mind when other sites provide snippets of my article and talk about it a bit. But when somebody blatantly steals your article and slaps it on their site and calls it their own, it boils my blood!

What can a blogger do?
