Comments on: The Wrap, Newser and Content Aggregation: How Much Attribution is Enough? http://www.adamsherk.com/publishing/content-aggregation-attribution-links/ News media SEO, PR and social media marketing Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:23:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adam Sherk http://www.adamsherk.com/publishing/content-aggregation-attribution-links/#comment-1237 Adam Sherk Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:27:24 +0000 http://www.adamsherk.com/?p=1276#comment-1237 Thanks for the input Tamar. A lot of the publishers we work with are constantly getting their content scraped; it's a real problem. I haven't been personally involved in helping to combat it, but in situations like that a DMCA complaint seems like the way to go. Thanks for the input Tamar.

Why not just send a DMCA complaint to the web host and get the site taken down? Or ... well, ask nicely. Having represented several "big" news sources in the blog space, I can tell you that in my several years of doing this, the requests I have made have never been denied, even overseas. Eventually, justice prevails. It would prevail a lot quicker if you make the request before making any type of [legal or otherwise] threat, though.

And 99% of the time, we include those (when we don't, it's a mistake). Yep, you’re right. And 99% of the time, we include those (when we don’t, it’s a mistake).

In spot checking articles I didn't come across any that didn't have at least the one attribution link in the sidebar. I'm a proponent of inline attribution myself, but I think including the source in the sidebar too is a good thing. Thanks for your comment Brittnay.

Thanks for the write up. I wanted to point out that Waxman is absolutely wrong when she says we sometimes don't credit our sources at all. It's actually technically impossible to omit the link on the right under SOURCES based on how our system is set up. It's always there. Hey Adam,
