BlogCatalog Content Scraper

It is more than concerning how some websites will just plain STEAL your copyrighted content and copyrighted images and make you think it is OK ... because they say they are a Blog Catalog aka BlogCatalog! A reputable blog catalog or directory website will ask you if you would like to have your blog included first. Secondly, they will share SNIPPETS or an acceptable summary of your copyrighted blogs posts with a link to the ORIGINAL blog post where you can read more and see the original. They will not steal your entire blog post along with all the images to put on their site! That is essentially content theft.

A reputable website will not steal your work and create duplicate content [that is not theirs] to submit to Google and other search engines to index as theirs.

I just filed my DMCA Take Down Notice on BlogCatalog and expect to be given the runaround by the hosting company and website to pass the buck and NOT want to comply with my legal request!

This is not the only blog directory type of website that has scraped or stolen my copyrighted content. I'm also just sending out a DMCA Take Down Notice against Blogarama who seems to be STEALING my copyrighted work just as soon as I publish it!!!

I've sent my DMCA Take Down Notice against BlogCatalog to Cloudflare who quickly responded with additional information. Cloudflare advised that BlogCatalog's Hosting Provider is AMAZON-AES - Amazon.com, Inc., US with an Abuse Contact: abuse@amazonaws.com. It's been a few years since I communicated with Amazon AWS regarding a content scraper who kept moving their hosting to give me the runaround ... I hope I am not given the runaround again! I'm getting a bit old to deal with this type of behavior.

I would think Google can tell that this content thievery is happening ... especially when it involves one of their Google blogs! I have seen my newer blog posts copyrighted images appearing in Google searches as attributable to the scraper blog directories! That is really concerning that the original image is not appearing above the scraper blog directories. Just plain wrong! Google needs to penalize these content thieves.
