Below are the six steps to detecting and stopping misuse of your content on the Web:
- How to Find Plagiarism – How to detect plagiarism in nearly all content types.
- Contacting a Plagiarist – An overview of how to contact an infringer.
- Finding the Host – Information on how to find the host of any Web site.
- Contacting the Host – How to contact the host and get infringing content removed.
- When All Else Fails – What to do when the other approaches don’t work.
- The Long Haul – How to develop a long-term content protection strategy.
