I appreciate your comments on all three fronts. Copyscape is new to me. I'll be looking at it carefully.<BR/><BR/>I've been in the position of discovering plagiarized material myself. Not fun at all.<BR/><BR/>As for licensing... creative commons is a great way to go when you're looking simply for attribution. I think it helps, by telling the person that you're serious about the material. I think a simple copyright symbol is sometimes blown off. If you make reference to a creative commons license, hopefully a person contemplating "borrowing" your content might make the effort to attribute. <BR/><BR/>As for those who don't, your response can be as gentle, or harsh as you prefer!Kirk Longhoferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06874549419748687748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31170562.post-60875411647953928792008-07-23T22:14:00.000-05:002008-07-23T22:14:00.000-05:00Hey Cindy... No worries here! Thanks for the link love.<BR/><BR/>You did get me to thinking and I'm working on a quick post for tomorrow morning on the ethics of linking in an online world. Good topic, and thanks for the inspiration to go there for a few minutes!Kirk Longhoferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06874549419748687748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31170562.post-52659034071967929652008-07-23T12:19:00.000-05:002008-07-23T12:19:00.000-05:00Not sure about the design, but the get connected copy is being used by numerous churches. Plug the URL into copyscape.com.<BR/><BR/>I dealt with content theft about a year ago when I found out the editor of a seminary newsletter had plagiarized the work of about a dozen authors, including myself. <BR/><BR/>It's a struggle for me to decide what license to offer content under and how to respond when no attribution is used.Joshuahttp://www.churchredone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31170562.post-80665899002882424742008-07-23T09:54:00.000-05:002008-07-23T09:54:00.000-05:00Convicted! *wince*<BR/><BR/>REALLY LONG URL WARNING:<BR/><BR/>https://sites.google.com/a/allisonparkchurch.com/apc-tech-info/Home/policies---acceptable-use/copyright-issues<BR/><BR/>I posted that yesterday, and credited you and added a link, but perhaps I should have asked you before I posted.<BR/><BR/>I apologize if I should have asked you first, but it was such a great article you posted I wanted to add it to our info pages asap.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes as a Department of One, I hurry too much.<BR/><BR/>God Bless.CindyKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180754262647505228noreply@blogger.com
