Digital Pirates in Cyberspace! It's No Joke

"Piracy of Your Blog Content?" is another discussion thread from www.blogcatalog.com that deals with intellectual property theft.

Maybe, considering the word "piracy," I should say intellectual piracy on the digital seas.

I've been away from the BlogCatalog community for a couple of days, and apparently missed quite a bit. Theft of intellectual property isn't anything new, of course, but the Internet has speeded the process up enormously.

On the up side, our new information technology makes catching the thieves easier, too. For example, there are pirate-finding services. I talked about one in "Plagiarism-Finder Site: Copyscape" (August 9, 2007).
