One other suggestion that I got directly from Feedburner when I was being scraped last month is to use their Attribution flare services.

A few that I've enabled are: Display Copyright Attribution
If you use Feedburner to republish your feed you can also check their "Uncommon Users" tab in your stats to pick up a lot of these reports.
I'm finding quite a few places use my titles & digests but not the whole post. I know they're using my prolific content to feed their sites, but because it's kind of fair use (and they usually link back), I don't go after them. It's the splogs that use my full content without attribution or links (and possibly claiming copyright) that bug the bejeebers out of me.
Thank you for your comment on Food Blog S'cool. Topical discussion and information is warmly welcomed. Spam, irrelevant comments and advertisements will be deleted.
Thanks for that! I had something scraped a while ago and got no reponse when I contacted the appropriate folks. I'll do that from now on.
ReplyDeleteBTW- This post is now on FBS three times and counting. You grabbed post #1K, #1K1 AND #1K2. No fair! ;-)
