Every day someone “borrows” some text from another website to use on-line. Some people don’t understand that text written by someone else is protected under copyright laws while others just don’t care.
Copyright laws protect publishers of original content giving them legal power to sue for damages. But how do you find out if anyone has copied your web content? Answer: You use the free service at Copyscape!
Copyscape enables you to search the web for text copied from your web pages. Just put your URL in the search box and any web page with text blocks exactly like yours will be identified and presented.
This handy tool lets you quickly find out if anyone has copied your web content and who they are. A simple email to the perpetrator demanding removal of the text is usually all it takes to get your material taken off the offending website. So, do some searches and catch those copyright thieves!
