With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
For images, you can add a watermark to them, placing it somewhere where it is not easily cropped out. This is one of the best ways I know to avoid people ‘borrowing without leave’ from your website, because then your signature goes with it.
Also, you can add transparent ‘covers’ to pages, so that if people try to right click to copy/save your text or image…all they will get is the blank overlay. Granted, someone could still take a screencap of your content and repost it if they wanted to, but that can help.
I am not an artist, and I don’t maintain a website, so that’s just observations of what I have seen others sometimes do. Hope that helps!
