Recently we’ve had to deal with a problem that faces a lot of popular sites … people have started ripping off our content, business model and even our slogan.
Here’s a few ideas for dealing with this situation if and when it happens to you.
Take it as Good Sign
Would people copy what you’re doing if they thought it was irrelevant. The more popular you get, the more you can expect people to rip off your ideas..
..
Don’t Take Legal Action
The first sign that you’re dealing with an amateur idiot is when they say “I’m consulting with a lawyer”. Why?
- My lawyer coughs and it costs me $250. Imagine how much he’d charge for handling a real case.
- If you’ve ever had a client disappear without paying you know that its almost impossible to collect even with a watertight contract. Imagine how hard it is to get and enforce a judgement in trademark and copyright cases.

Today, I was at the IEEE Web 2.0 Security & Privacy Workshop, where I presented a short position paper on extending the web browser to enable secure private-data mashups. I started the day not sure what to expect: maybe a day-long complaint about how web 2.0 concepts are insecure and we need to stop and think, or a slew of interesting new proposals. I had purposely ignored the posted papers: I wanted to get the authors’ pitch first.

So there’s an important distinction developing among “user generated content” sites — the distinction between sites that permit “true sharing” and those that permit only what I’ll call “fake sharing.”
A “true sharing” site doesn’t try to exercise ultimate control over the content it serves. It permits, in other words, content to move as users choose.
A “fake sharing” site, by contrast, gives you tools to make seem as if there’s sharing, but in fact, all the tools drive traffic and control back to a single site..

As the owner or manager, or even employee, of your company, you need to be aware of the security of the data you entrust to computer systems. You don’t want to have it deleted by flaw, crook or crash, and you certainly don’t want it stolen and used for nefarious purposes by crooks - or even inadvertently published to the world for all to see. This has been a problem since business started using computers, but the potential for the crooks or the world to see your data has increased recently with the advent of web-enabled applications providers and their sale of access to their facilities where your data is entered and manipulated by their software, on their computers, and with their security model.

Some have even resorted to questionable tactics, which is why Google has implemented its duplicate content penalties. I have a friend, whom we’ll call “Nancy,” who started a web site to sell jewelry items that she and her sister made at home.
