Your Content Has Been Plagiarized! What Now?

There is virtually very little that is strange in the world today. Almost everything has been discovered and written about, especially on-line. As a result, the issues surrounding copying other people are content and ideas are rife in different sectors like academia, politics and on-line business.

Your Content Has Been Plagiarized! What Now?

The most acceptable and interpreted version of the plagiarism debate is its definition as content thievery. It’s been talked about and even when we consistently accept its presence, plagiarism is bad for the internet. This article will focus on website content plagiarism; how to detect it and the steps on how to deal with it.

 

How does plagiarism come about?

It’s misguided to assume that plagiarism is malicious. In the actual sense, plagiarism is sometimes, landed at innocently. Sometimes, you can use someone else’s work as inspiration, as a sample to create your own or as an example, but still come out as the content thief. Even then, most plagiarism is malicious and you need to get rid of it, or else you end up losing on what rightfully belongs to you.

 

How to detect your content is plagiarized?

There are different ways you can apply to determine whether your website content has been stolen or not. The cheapest and easiest method to use is the Google alerts route where you can track the content on your website. As soon as content is phished from your website, you will get an alert in the same regard.

The other way you can track whether or not your content is stolen on-line is through use of anti-plagiarism software and websites. Plagtracker.com is one of the best platforms you can set plagiarism alerts every time someone steals your content. These alerts will enable you track who steals your content and take action.

 

Steps to take when your work has been plagiarized

Sometimes, getting an alert about your work being stolen can elicit one thing-anger. For others, it’s a sign of relief that comes and for some, triumph. When that alert comes, you should think rationally and follow the next steps of action.

What to do if content of your website has been plagiarized

 

  1. Start by getting evidence of all the plagiarized work by taking screen-shots, files and documents which show that the work was stolen or at least belongs to you. Do this before contacting the site owner.

  2. If the person published your work and didn’t inform you of it, but still cite you as a source, this is not plagiarism. However, you can contact them and ask them to take it down for copyright infringement.

  3. If you have your content stolen and aren’t reported as the rightful owner, send them a polite email to take the content down. If they don’t, consider taking action against them by reporting them to the hosting company and if they are a blog, a report to their platform will suffice.

  4. If the action taken so far is not taken seriously, consider taking it on-line and embarrass them. Naming and shaming works well with social media and you should certainly consider doing it at some point when civil options fail.

  5. Filing a DMCA complaint to Google is a great way to de-index them because Google takes these charges seriously. However, when you use the litigation route, be sure you will spend money on the same.

 

What do you do when you find out that your content has been copied without your permission? Did you ever succeed with your complains?
