I didn’t say that copying the content of a PDF was impossible. All I said was that it is possible to include some protection in a PDF. It is not possible to include any effective protection in HTML since all that is needed to bypass any “protection” in HTML is a web browser.
You can’t prevent copying. 99% of the blogosphere is currently garbage farming and backlink fodder, so you will have people all over the world copying your work and trying to protect yourself is adding work for yourself and potentially inconveniencing visitors. Just make a presence for yourself making real content regularly and count on moonspeak-plagiarists to shrivel up on their own accord.
I’m with you Stephen.
Copyscape softwares are available in wide range. Still your stuff is not completely prevented from copycats. A bit of it is always plagarized.
You just need to make sure that you demand that any copies be removed and follow up each violation as far as required so as to not become a soft target. Once some places get away with copying your material then others will start copying it as well because they realise you don’t enforce your copyright.
in general google reference who has added first the article, who copied the 2nd section is concidere like duplicate
Google doesn’t always get it right as to which was the original though. When your content has been copied you should send a DMCA to Google to advise them of the duplication as well as requesting for the thief to remove it.
Many of us creatives take a long time to create our work, weather it be written or image based it’s still our intellectual property and we still own the copyright. That is the real issue of what is stolen. Whilst Copyscape or other programs/site won’t stop people copying works, the reporting of sites that publish your Intellectual property and requesting the offending site is notified that the breach has been noted may help to curb the stealing of content.
I would suggest Informing the host company of any site found to be displaying your work
It cannot be stopped. we should learn to live with it until some major action is taken for copyright violation by government or by the search engines.
You know, I’m not so sure that those who are on the soapbox spouting rhetoric such as, “it can’t be stopped,” “embrace it, you’ll get backlinks”, and other such drivel don’t have an ulterior motive for wanting those who put in the effort to write original content let thieves get away with their work unscathed.
I’ve been writing for the web since 1999 and nobody has to “put up with” intellectual property theft. There are ways to make thieves stop pillaging your content. However, just like in the world on the ground, you have to catch them and penalize them one thief at a time.
Governments take action to protect copyright! Last year the English government tried to pass a law that would mean copyright would be almost none exhistant. Thankfully the AOP (Association of Photography) lobbied the government successfully to prevent such changes.
I think there is no way to prevent site content being copied because you allowing the browser to display the content. Once the contents has been displayed on web browser then any one easily get a copy of the page.
Choose a phrase from your content that is not in widespread use and create a google alert for it.
This will not stop people copying your content, but as soon as google picks it up you will get an email notifying you. Then you can go down the usual road of contacting the webmaster; then a DMCA notice etc.
However, be aware that many one-click auto-blog software packages spin the copied text or translate out and then back in again to alter the text. For this reason, I often choose text that gives a name or some other non-spinable/untranslatable words to set up my google alert with.
be the one with higher authority on that subject and it doesn’t matter if people copy your content, google will still rank you higher.
I’m currently using Copyscape. I just used it recently cause I found duplicates of my content.
Sometimes I used google and would accidentally find some other websites copying my articles.
I hate this kind of theft!
You can do this easily copyscape is a good way to know where your written articles or matter has been placed by others. But you need to buy connects in copyscape, there are many other website like plagirisma, ed-grammarly, duplichecker etc which can also given the links and location of the copied content. So try it, it will definitely help you. 
It happens a lot on the internet, one thing search engines cant deal with is duplicates!
Yes definitely search engine catches the spin content and copied content as well that is why when someone copied any contents from anywhere if the original content knows it or the content indexed in google search engine then the one who copied content from there search engine do not execute and indexed that content. And some time the whole website gets to the spam in google search engine spam directory. Google introduced a powerfull tools to contain this problem which is known as google panda, it suppose to be a killer tool for spammer.
