My blog was plagiarized, what can I do?

Post by Erik_Twice »

So, unexpectedly, my article about game plagiarisim was plagiarized by some Korean site. They took the article and the images, translated it, bam! Now it's in their website getting hits.

What can I do? I know you can use Google authorship to protect yourself on this and I think I'm way behind schedule.

Done, thank you. Still, I should look into more options.

Apparently it's just one dude that "translated" the article and posted it on a content aggregator or something like that. Still, it's superannoying.

Yep, all for a buck or two. Google really doesn't like that, so they tend to be good about plagiarized material.
