You can't protect your content from being copied by others. And now with the increasing number of spam auto-blogs its not surprising to find your whole website under different domain name. Like the god loves his creatures, you love your creations.

Lets come to the point. How do you punish such sites?

Lately I found out that almost every content including the pictures from one of my blogs had been copied by a spam blog under a category. That particular spam blog had 10-15 daily posts with different articles from blogs of different niche. So, I decided to inform the owner of that blog about the copyright policy asking him to remove all the posts copied from my blog. Even after a week, neither did he reply me neither did he bother to remove those posts. Then I came down to threatening him saying that I shall report his website to google, google adsense and his webhosting. This method had worked several times before but not this time.
