Funny–I mentioned above what seemed to be a quick way to report the violation. It turns out that you are then asked to file a report. In writing. So the way you suggest is probably better.

Okay, and done. No response from Adsense in the last 2 minutes…we’ll see. It makes me so mad to see your postings on the other site without a word changed.

Grrrrr….he didn’t even change stuff around — just a straight-up steal. I’m going to file a report now.

@ frugalscholar: Good catch!!!! Wanna be an editor?

His site pinged my site…nine times.

There’s a site called Copyscape where you can enter a page URL to see if someone else has ripped it off: http://www.copyscape.com/

You can get a WordPress plugin that will detect scraping (http://www.maxpower.ca/wordpress-plugin-digital-fingerprint-detecting-content-theft/2006/09/25/). It seems like more trouble than it’s worth, though. Most scrapers don’t copy & paste enough of your copy to violate the Digital Millenium Act. It’s when someone copies my entire post and puts it up as his own that I get pissed. That doesn’t seem to happen often.

How did you discover this?

Your first mention has the address wrong: you left out the t.
Also,you can report violations by clicking on the “Ads by Google” link on the miscreant’s site and reporting it there.
