Plagiarism is a serious and growing problem on the Web. At any moment, anyone in the world can copy your online content and instantly paste it onto their own site. After making minor changes, they will claim your content as their own.

In defending your rights online against plagiarists, it's important to be both vigilant and proactive. These four easy steps should help protect your content from being stolen:

1. Place a plagiarism warning banner on each of your pages to deter
plagiarists from stealing your work.
2. Include copyright notices on each of your pages to assert ownership
over your content (© is ©in HTML).
3. Detect and identify illegal copies of your content as they appear.
4. If your content has been copied without permission, take immediate
steps to have it removed.

If you discover someone has stolen your content, you should act quickly to have it removed. Since copyright laws vary from place to place, it is always best to seek professional legal advice from a qualified lawyer before proceeding. Here are some steps to consider:

1. Look for contact details on the offending site and send a polite
message asking for the material to be removed. If there are no
contact details available, try emailing webmaster@ the domain.
2. Use a Whois service to find out the website owner's name and
telephone number and contact them directly. Enter the domain name
in the search box and the contact information should appear
towards the bottom of the page.
3. Contact the web hosting company used by the site and inform them
of their customer's abuse. This information is also available through a
Whois search.
4. Send a formal 'Cease and Desist' letter notifying the offending party
that they must remove the stolen content from their site. Some
sample letters are available on the web.
5. File a notice of Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) infringement
with search engines such as Google and others to have the offending
site removed from their search results.

to show that the content appeared on your site at an earlier date than
it appeared on the offending site.
