Blogging is constantly becoming more popular for communication, sharing information, and internet marketing. However, plagiarism is easier than ever in the digital age.
If you have a popular, well-written post, someone might want to post your content to their page to direct more web traffic and to appear higher on search engines.
If they don’t ask you for permission to use your hard work, that’s stealing. You’ll also have to deal with web scraping, that is, when someone uses a program to automatically search, copy, and post content from RSS Feeds. It’s easy enough to add a watermark to an image, but how do you protect your writing from being stolen? And what do you do if someone actually steals it?
