To start off this week, I am very happy with all the new blogs since we have re-opened registrations, I haven’t had to battle any porn, nasty stuff or spammers… Knock on wood (*knocks on head…LOL*)
Everything has been running very smooth and the Top Sites Issue has been resolved.
I would like to see more bloggers join BlogDumps B Tubed but that will come in time. When you upload your music and videos I will use them here on the blog and link the post to your blog.
This year we would like to beat all of the previous years in Bloggers joining the BlogDumps community so make sure to pass the word to all your friends and if you friends don’t have a blog, make sure to let them know they can get one free right here on BlogDumps.
A good question was brought up to me today by Cheryl from Art Of Being Conflicted The question was:
Yes, I think this is important all of you should have a copyright symbol and link it to a page that lets everyone know that copying your material without your permission is prohibited. Many of you write very well, much better than I do, and your material is yours. People out there do like to use others material for whatever reason, I don’t know.
Having a copyright statement a good way to protect what you write because no one can say they didn’t see a copyright on your page. Some of you are into photography and you do not need people stealing your photos and using them as their own. I have visited a lot of blogs that use a company called Copyscape it disables the right click and copy and may do even more. I have never used them, but I think this is something to be considered. For the record, when you publish something on the web people can reprint what you have written but there must be a link to the original blog post and it must say something about where the material came from original and where you can read the original post. This is part of the (DMCA) Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
If for some reason you find someone using your material you can Google the DMCA and follow the guidelines to have them stop. To start, you can try the nice way and send a DMCA notice but if that does not work you can notify their hosting company. You can find their hosting company by using the whois (Google whois) when you use the whois you will find the registrar of the name that is not the hosting company. The hosting company is on the nameservers it will look like 3n1.nameserver.com the nameserver.com is the hosting company. By law if you have tried the nice way to have them stop then you notify the hosting company and send a DMCA to the hosting company if they do not remove it they become in violation themselves. Usually when you notify the hosting company you will get results in about 24 hours or less. I have had some of my other sites hacked before and they have left there name thinking haha but I used this method found the hosting company and shut down their sites completely. So this was a very good question and it is important to protect your work after all you all work very hard on your blogs.
I hope this helps have a great rest of the week 🙂
