Copyscape Launches Global Web Rights Campaign to Fight Website Plagiarism

Popular Public Service Helps People Find Stolen Copies of Their Content Online

TEL AVIV, Israel, December 16/PRNewswire/ -- Copyscape today announced the Global Web Rights campaign to help people
defend themselves against website plagiarism. The campaign is aimed at
providing people with the tools and information they need to fight illegal
copying of their web pages, and at raising awareness of the global content
theft epidemic.



Copyscape (http://www.copyscape.com) is a free public service used by
thousands of people every day to identify and locate copies of their content
online. Users simply enter the address of their web page, and a list of pages
with copies of their content is shown. Copyscape's advanced technology can
locate stolen content even if the content has been significantly modified
from its original form, leaving plagiarists with nowhere to hide.



The Global Web Rights campaign offers useful information for people on
protecting their rights online, including a list of practical steps for
preventing and responding to web plagiarism and links to resources for
countries around the world. For victims of content theft, Copyscape offers a
series of steps for having the offending content removed. Copyscape also
provides a public forum where users share and discuss their experiences in
dealing with online plagiarism.



"The Web is built on the hard work of honest people who devote their time
and energies to creating original content for the benefit of all," said
Gideon Greenspan, co-creator of Copyscape. "Online plagiarism violates
people's legal rights and discourages the creation of new web content. We
created Copyscape as a free public service to enable people around the world
to respond to this threat."



The Global Web Rights campaign also offers a wide selection of
anti-plagiarism banners that can be included on a site to warn content
thieves that their illegal copying will be detected. The banners are already
being shown on tens of thousands of pages across the web including general
information sites, corporate web pages and blogs.
