My First Filing of a DMCA Complaint to Google


http://www.dom4j.org/legal/dmca.php


I filed my first DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) complaint to Google a while ago. I have to teach myself on how to do it and learn it by reading a number of materials online. Since it was my first time, I had a hard time on going about it.

There was one hubber who said that we need to file a letter of complaint to the site owner. I tried to do that by searching the owner's online/IP address. Lo and behold!  I got hold of his email address too.

I cranked out this letter, and sent it to him via Gmail. But this guy is slippery, the email got bumped by Gmail - telling me that this person's email address does not exist.

If I can't reach him, what do I do? The most logical move, is to report him to Google. This guy is the first DMCA complaint that I filed ever since I started with online work. There will be around ten more sites to follow. One fellow is in Korea. I just don't know if he is from the north or the south.

These characters either copy my content word for word or use my name to crank out their lousy articles. It's time to get back at them and give them a beating! They disturb my peace by copying my work and pretending to be me.

I say, enough is enough. This old woman is going to fight back by filing DMCA complaints to all of these rascals, until they grow tired of being booted out by Google.

I am posting this letter online to mark the first time that I filed a DMCA complaint. A feather on my cap, I have arrived!  Lol!

POSTSCRIPT:

When I was still in the academe, I used to tell students of mine to be careful with what they post in FB or any social sites. You leave digital marks whenever you post, even if you don't use your real name. There are ways of finding out on who you are.

If you write online, you're traceable. If you copy quotes or post pictures without naming your source, you will get in trouble. If you come across owners like me, I file a DMCA complaint against you, and you get booted out of Google.


Hehehe!

  2. i've been filing DMCA for several years now. it's irritating to see your work get posted by someone else. hubpages now has a was to inform its members if the content is being copied. There's also a DMCA link for a DMCA take down notice. Go for it my friend. Let's stop plagiarism.

  3. Yep, JP ----I learned about filing of DMCA's in Hubpages. I tried sending an email to the owner, but his email is non-existent. What I did was file it directly with Google. I feel good after that. Now, writers have a way of fighting back. Heheh!
