Dealing with Plagiarism
When I created the content for my website, I spent hours figuring out WHAT I wanted to say and HOW I wanted to say it. Did I say hours? I really spent days. So, why, on God's green earth, would anyone think it would be okay to take what I say and use it on their own website is beyond me.
It's wrong.
Yesterday, I took my pages thru CopyScape and found not one, not two, but three other websites that have used my verbiage.
It's wrong.
Do they not know that they we could be penalized for duplicate content? Do they not know that if the matter isn't addressed promptly that I can take legal action?
And no, I don't want to hear that your webmaster is to blame. You own your website. You own the words it contains and the pictures used. I also don't want to hear that you've hired someone else to write your content (which is what one of the three have claimed happened). If that's truly the case, then "note to self", ask for money back as they didn't write the content used on your site. I did.
Yes. I'm a little angry. It's happened time after time and it's wrong.
And no, I'm not flattered.
Now I'll go on record - please do not copy the content from my website. And never, ever should you think it's okay to use my photos without my permission. I'm the one that made the investment in my camera and took the steps necessary to learn how to take great photos of my home staging project.
I work extremely hard at what I do. Everything you see on my website is a direct result of what I've done, not what you've done.
