How to deal with Content Theft from BlogSpot User?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4775 of 4880 |
Re: [blogger_user_support] Re: How to deal with Content Theft from BlogSpot User?

Chris:

I did do a Google search with words I knew were in the emails stolen and
the content DID come up in the Google search. So the content IS being
circulated in the Google Search Engines as well as God knows where else.

Well I wrote him at what I believe is another email address he was signed
up with on my group. We will see if he responds.

The timing is not good for me and IF he takes the content off the site I
would be willing to turn my back on it. IF he does not then I will contact
Blogger, Google, Adsense, etc. etc. They don't make it easy and it will
take me some time as I have to take care of my immediate situation with my
card site's grand re-opening. It is timed with the upcoming Jewish New
Year and that won't wait for me.

Thanks for the addresses of who to write and how and for explaining the
terms I had not been familiar with until now.
