| This is the dubious act of stealing the content from a website and putting it on your own and submitting it to search engines. Copyright is catching up and adapting to cover the Internet so this practise is slowly being tightened up on. If a website is thought to have used stolen content there are certain things the copyright holder can do, such as going to the search engine that has listed the site and the content stealers hosting company. In order to prevent this it is a good idea to have copyright notices and / or links to one on each page of your website. |
