I don't know if any of you have run across the blog http://clarinetandclarinet.blogspot.com/. I just recently found that they have been copying all of my blog articles, word for word, and posting them to their site. Just a warning to all other bloggers and web admins at how easily people can steal content.

Make something up, like use tuna oil and garlic to keep the horns from cracking!

Those articles are YOUR intellectual property. You should contact blogspot and submit a DMCA copyright takedown request - whoever is running that site is probably making advertising dollars off of your work.

You can be sure that they are using a script to duplicate your info, and doubtful that there's a live person monitoring the page.

I've even found some of my published movie criticism (from print magazines) duplicated on copycat blogs. Most of the copycats seem to be ignorant of copyright law. I've found that, if I explain politely and ask the copycats to take the material down, most comply immediately. If they don't, I sic my editor on 'em!

Why do they bother? Is there some financial benefit? Ego? A means of hiding encoded messages or stealth cookies? I do not see the benefit of copying a blog page word for word.

The blogs I've caught reproducing my magazine articles usually belong to fanatics for the particular subject matter. Some reproduce everything they can get, indiscriminately, even if it means they have to scan from print magazines and then go to all the trouble of correcting the copy. Fanaticsm knows no common sense. The more popular the topic, the more eager the echo-meisters. For instance, the current issue of "Scarlet" has the first of my series of articles about films of Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera" (there have been more than 50 of these movies, starting with a filmmaker who violated Leroux's copyright with a silent film in 1914 -- some things never change!) and I know I'll have to monitor the Phantom phan sites over that topic. If anybody's addicted to something, somebody will supply the craving.
