As an avid WordPress user, there are a few plugins I’d like to see developed to help people protect their content.

Once you’ve found an infringer and identified their host, the real quest often begins. Finding out who to contact can be the hardest part of all.

Historically, Google has been a DMCA headache, even as its Blogger service has become overrun with spammers. That may be about to change.

With every new medium comes an attempt to game it, usually using other people’s work. Twitter is no exception but it does provide a series of new challenges and questions.

A new service by Lijit has raised eyebrows in the content community. Does their new aggregation service provide a new solution for content licensing or just push the boundaries of what is spam?

I’ve sent hundreds of takedown notices and seen a wide variety of replies, but Joyent has taken the cake by not just failing to act, but actively defending a potential spam blogger.

WordPressDirect, a move that it hopes will placate the concerns many have expressed about the service, is removing auto-posting from free members. But is it enough to calm the angry mob?

A recent study by content tracking service Attributor has found that, for many publishers, their audience off their site completely dwarfs the pageviews they can count.

BackType, a new comment search engine, has raised the ire of many bloggers for its practice of scraping and republishing full comments. But what is the service about and how can it resolve these issues?

For the most part, bloggers who host their own sites have greater control and protection than those who use a third party. However, a little-known feature at Google’s Blogger service may help level the playing field some.
