Lorelle on WordPress | Content Theft and WordPress | by Lorelle VanFossen | February 4, 2008
If you are a website author, there is nothing more infuriating than finding big chunks or the entirety of your copyrighted content scraped, iframed or cut and pasted somewhere on the internet other than your own site.
Lorelle Van Fossen has written an informative article with some potentially effective suggestions for fighting online content infringements. A good portion of her article focuses on WordPress and establishing the various roles WordPress plays in its dual roles as both a blog host and open-source software provider and the differences of each as they might apply to Wordpress’s ability / appropriateness (or not) to intervene with regard to content theft claims – all information which is likely of interest and use to many people in light of the fact that WordPress is extremely popular in general; at the same time much of what she has written should be easily translatable and applicable to many other authoring platforms as well.
It is important to know the difference between fair use and plagiarism and inherent vagaries associated with same. Lorrelle touches on these areas and offers related posts from the past from her long running and prolific blog as well as an abundance of helpful external links.
In a perfect world, you or I would not be troubled by content theft annoyances but we do, in fact live in a real world, so with that in mind, Lorelle’s article is a pretty good resource.
“There are many sides to Lorelle VanFossen. One is a public speaker, instructor, writer, and consultant on web writing, web design, and blogging, especially working with WordPress.”
