I believe they are necessary even if you don’t think so it isn’t hard to set up a privacy page that maps this out. I had this happen and I simply wrote and said I don’t mind you quoting my content but I expect a backlink and he had no problem fixing it and I made a really good contact even though we are opposite sides of the states

Hi Shaun! Thanx a lot for the mentions and linkage, really appreciate it

Your post is a perfect example of “building upon someone’s work”, it’s great, that is the way to go. Linking back, quoting, all good practices. I highly encourage everyone to have a copyright page.

One thing regarding adsense, you can file a DMCA complaint, but the problem is you can wait weeks/months before you get a reply from Google, contacting “smaller” advertisers is a good alternative (worked really well for me).

One thing that is often misunderstood is “fair use” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use ) just gotta make sure you understand that before taking any actions, like filing a DMCA or contacting advertisers or hosting company.

@ etienne: lol thanx appreciate the link

@Mike Goad: thanks for the information it seems your far more knowledgeable abou this top than I am. I also read your post that you made about copyright infringement that you just recently published.

@dcr: thanks I have been looking into this I will contact google asap.

@erik: yeh i don’t think theres much anyone can do to prevent it, i still think a copyright page might stop some thieves but who knows it’s worth a shot.

@steven: thanks i will contact them

I don’t think a copyright page would stop the sort of person who would steal content in the first place. You just have to do your best in keeping an eye out for your content on other blogs.

That’s unfortunate that this has happened to you, although I’ve read it happening to bloggers before.

You mentioned that the person is only using Google adsense, you can still report him to Google and perhaps get him banned.

Hope everything works out ok.
