This post is a part of the series on Online plagiarism and republication of unauthorized content. In this tutorial you will learn polite ways of dealing copyright infringement. Suppose you found a web owner who willingly or unwillingly copies your content and published it without your permission, or you found him sharing your content without a backlink (credit link). Now how should you approach him and what should you say? Here are some ways of writing Polite death warrants to the abusers.

Letter To Violator With Duplicate Content

If your entire original content is copied and published on another blog that does not belong to you without your permission then you must contact the web admin in this way:

PS: In each case replace Mohammad with your name and MBT BLOG with your site name.

"Respected Admin,

We have found your article i.e. http://www.xyz.com/zyz.html as a complete violation of our copyrights. The article is a duplicate copy of the original post published on MBT @ http://mbt.com/xyz.html. Republication of such content is a serious loss to our SERP ranking and reputation. We thereby request you to remove the post completely within 48 hours.

Failure to comply will result in a complete deletion of your article. Your URL will be reported to both AdSense and GOOGLE DMCA. We therefore earnestly believe that you understand the consequences and expect sincere cooperation from your side.   

Original Content URL: http://mbt.com/xyz.html

Duplicate Content URL: http://www.xyz.com/zyz.html

Letter To Violator With No Credit Link

If someone shares your resources like in my case these resources are tutorials, widget codes, Icons, Buttons and templates etc. and that person does not acknowledge your efforts by giving attaching an attribution link on his post that may link to your homepage or resource page then you have complete right to demand your right. Sometimes people do link back but add a nofollow tag to your link so that search robots may not index that link and increase your search ranking. This is again a serious loss to you because nofollow link is equivalent to no link.

This is how you should write a polite notification to the violator:

"Respected Admin,

We have found that you have shared our tutorial with your audience without our permission. Our resource has been attributed with a nofollow tag. This is a complete violation of our Copyrights. We thereby request you to attach a proper credit backlink to the original post or remove the post completely within 48 hours.

Failure to comply will result in a complete deletion of your article. Your URL will be reported to both AdSense and GOOGLE DMCA. We therefore expect sincere cooperation from your side in this case.   

Original Content URL: http://mbt.com/xyz.html

Violated Content URL: http://www.xyz.com/zyz.html
