Protecting online property

This article/ blog has some important advice to protecting intellectual thoughts/ property online.
1) Understand copyright laws- people can use different words
2) Publish an official copyright notice on your page
3) Create a permissions policy that shows what can or can’t be done without your permission so that your boundaries are stated.
4) Remember that many people don’t know the copyright laws.  They are fans of your writing.
5) Request they remove your posts through email or a comment.  Mention it is illegal to post exact words or someone’s work to another page.
6) Demand that the content be taken down.
7) Notify the person’s hosting service. Find “Who is record” with in domain tools. Send an email requesting the site to be taken down or you will pursue legitimate services.
