A Few Steps to Prevent Content Theft

Thanks to the content thief ZKPOP.com that was going around stealing drama bloggers recaps (to make a profit for themselves with ads), I thought it was a good idea to go through a few steps that bloggers can put into place. Some processes aren't necessarily available if you are not self-hosting your own site or blog, though.

• Add copyright text to your blog (people can and do ignore this, but it is a step in the right direction.
• Add Creative Commons to your blog if you want (again, people don't always use this correctly either or choose to ignore it)
• Watermark images (people still steal images that have been watermarked, but they are less likely to do so)
• Never show full text in RSS feeds or on the main page of your blog

With the way the internet is, it just does not make sense for people to simply copy in paste what someone else has worked so hard on.
