It is quite normal that while staying within the blogosphere, we may like each other’s content, view each other’s videos & images etc. But it would be very wrong if we start copying & sharing the same content, images & videos. In a way, we would be tricking the search engines.
Recently, I have perceived a peculiar problem with some of the eminent blogs. Some of the successful blogs are getting suspended by their providers. That is why I read the Terms and conditions of a blog provider. There are lot’s of rules and regulations but among them the main problems are (what I have understood)
1.You can copy the information but not the content.
2. Do not copy the images from the copy right sites.
3. Do not copy the videos from the copy right sites.
Copyscape.com is a great place to assure content security. You may use any plagiarism checker in order to be sure of any plagiarism happening within your blog. Another option for you is to hang a copyright notice that shows your content as ‘copyrighted‘ & brands stealing it as ‘illegal‘. But at the same time, you must remember that security of your content can only be assured through consistent monitoring of the electronic data that travels to&fro. If you let a piece of unmonitored content reside within your blog, you are definitely inviting some legal as well as competitive risks.
