Yet another plagiarism case...

Whether one wants to blog under their own name or under a pseudonym - the choice is entirely the author's. And the readers/subscribers are more interested in the content than anything else. As Shakespeare himself said, 'What's in a name...'

Here is another plagiarism case, but this is how the owner of the blog defended herself:

We REALLY need a wall of shame and put up website name.

how cheap 

Damn, this is sick... Can't one preserve the right to blog anonymous...

Actually, I don't hide my name. But I've been using my nickname more than my name since 12 in tech forums and websites. People don't recognise me with my real name, but does with my nickname. So.... :D. Its hardly anonymous. Sort of like a 'personal' brand name. 

For me, a simple google search with some words from some random post works wonders. And although, the content I used to create till now wasn't such that anyone would have cared to copy it, however, in my case, plagiarism of images was a horrible thing, I had to deal with, and I still do check one of my images randomly to try and find if they've been plagiarised.

Any more suggestions for such plagiarism checker wbesites?

How do one check if their post is copied?

One way to check if any of your post is copied is by having a plagiarism checker on your blog/ visiting a plagiarism checker website. Once you eneter your blog url it will search online for similar content. A few are accurate, while many plagiarism checkers are just name sake... Also as Rio Mentioned - you can google you blogpost words- google will give you similar results.

Thanks Rio, SS, TS and CK. 

it seems he has removed the post now, it is not there on his blog

@Ankita - the post has been taken down/ removed by WordPress after I filed a DMCA for copyright infringement

Just report it to WordPress. Plagiarism is common now. Even Tier 1 brands rip stuff from content makers. 

Yes... I reported It to WordPress and they have pulled down the plagirizers post...

Yeah. When you report, they care of it. Even google doesn't entertain copyright infringement. This is the case when Asus India ripped off a content maker's youtube video:

@Sorcerer - Awesome... 

Okay...It ends as a happy day for meI reported the case to DMCA, and they help me pull down his blogpost...The plagirizer's post will not be available any further....Thank you fellow bloggers who have supported me....End note --> any such plagiarism issue regarding a blogpost being copied as such, you can report it to DMCA here --> http://automattic.com/dmca-notice/ Fill in the form... and it does work... 

@Sulaiman, that URL of DMCA is just for Wordpress site (copied) related one, and for Blogspot (copied), one has to use this link https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905?rd=1#ts=1115645 (after Google/Blogspot Sign-In and follow the procedure given). 

Sulaiman, it'd be advisable to find more such posts (if any) on the said blog, and report the matter to IndiTeam. That way, it'll work more smoothly, and that blogger will atleast be kicked out of IB, if found guilty.

@CK That blog isn't on IndiBlogger...

To see this is really quite sad

Can't help but post this after noticing it
