Been copied? This is how to fight back!

Great information and I second the copysentry service. I use it and the weekly reports are helpful to find the whois info for quick contact. When I last signed up at copysentry
they had a buy 3 months - get 1 month free offer.
If you don't see it there, email them directly.
Two other suggestions:
1) we put the copyscape banner on all our content pages.
2) I have produced a form letter to send to offenders.
I tweak it for each instance, but I warn them if the content is not taken down in 72 hours, I will contact google and post the copyright violation to several gambling forums.

The last offender was a sad story. They admitted the copied text and took it down, but mentioned that they had paid a third party for the content. An expensive lesson for them.

They all seem to have that story or one similar in my experience !!!!

I am having lots of success with sending out letters threatening court action or speaking with affiliate managers and getting them to either shut down the accounts or getting the affiliate to remove the content..

Maybe we should compile a list of which affiliate managers are interested in assisting and which aren't, it could be helpful for future reference.

Income Access were fantastic in assisting with a recent issue, they had the offenders account shut down in just a few days.

I was wondering and hope you can answer me, i publish often new articles on my site, but have another gambling site that each and every time, takes my articles modify them very lightly and publish them as news on his site.

So here is the question, even if it is slightly modified from their end can i still go against them for them copying my articles?
