I was also the victim of content theft. I was googling the subject of guitar ergonomics back in August of this year and found that a site had taken my full site feed and used it to publish "posts" from a fictitious user called ergonomicguitar within its forum. I wrote about my experience on my blog, <a href="http://buildingtheergonomicguitar.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Building The Ergonomic Guitar</a>. In fact, this site's owner claimed that my providing a full site feed was tatamount to permission to freely use my content! Fortunately, the issue was resolved rather quickly. However, I still debate the issue because I've read that publishing only a partial feed can negatively impact your site placement in search engines. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I mean, I don't use any type of feed, never. I've made a session on my Opera called "my daily visits" and visit my sites everyday. I can't stick with the idea of subscription. So, if you changed to partial feeds, it doesn't bothers me at all. You know, as a matter of fact I preffer the old way. I mean, I don’t use any type of feed, never.

With partial feeds, you can avoid content theft directly from your feed and can also get the readers to visit your blog and get more income from ads. When I used full feeds I noticed that most subscribers did not care to visit this blog and never shared their experiences in the comments. Now I want to find out how Partial feeds work out. I may lose my RSS Subscribers but I can't gain everything together. Maybe I will switch to full feeds if readers become active by commenting more often. This can help me decide which articles they like and encourage me to write more often. As a reader I too prefer full feeds, but think yourself as a blogger.

No one can dispute content theft as orginality does not happen with only one person, many people may dispute content theft over this thing. We are all bloggers, let the robbers be, just post a comment on the robbers site that, this was what i had written to make people aware of theft.

I think your blog is quite popular and it doesn't matter to you if some one reblogs your content. People can always figure out which is a real content and which is a reblogged content.

I am blogging to share my knowledge and not to get famous but I would not like to see other people getting credit for my work. Other bloggers may share my article by posting a summary of it and then linking to the Article. That is the right way to do it according to me. I am sure a lot of people agree with me.

I believe that the spirit of share the knowledge has a higher value than anything else, specially the principle of author rights. I see nothing wrong in other people "stealing" my content and posting on their own. Even if they say that it's their. That's because I believe the porpouse of writting a blog is to share knowledge with people, not getting famous. I agree that there is nothing wrong with getting some fame and good reputation. But still, you will never touch so many people without letting others "steal" your content. Well, I can be wrong and you can be right, but that is my point of view and I wanted to share with you, since I like this blog so much. To end, I'm not the only one to think that way, search for "open sources" blogs and you will find a lot of they. Cheers. Hey man, I’m sorry but I don’t agree with that.
