It's the Internet -- Do you know where your content is?
As an educator, I am usually thinking about plagiarism as in students trying to fake me out and submit someone else's work. This article flips the plagiarism thing and presents bloggers and other content providers with some tools to keep watch on their content.
Where once the plagiarist would have to re-type the paper or repaint the portrait, content theft now is just a mouse click or a keyboard shortcut away. Worse yet, whole technologies have been built around content theft. For example, RSS scraping applications can steal the content from thousands of feeds in a single hour, creating countless spam blogs.
However, technology is a double-edged sword. At the same time it has made content theft easier than ever, it has also empowered content producers with new, more powerful means of monitoring and enforcing their content rights.Source: blogherald.com
