The web is getting very big very fast and people think they can do whatever they feel like. Do you bother going after the people or consider it flattering? I still can't decide but I guess it depends on the type of theft.

Social bookmarking sites drive traffic to places where people who don't do a lot of research think they have found cool stuff. This opens the door to plagerism which I feel is sharply becoming epidemic. I found the creativebits article via stumbleupon. Yesterday probably 1/3 of the sites I stumbled were recognized as (I may have also missed some) stolen content. It is a little too much to ask to expect stumblers or diggers to research content duplication. So I think the best cure to this disease would be if the social bookmarking sites did some automated research to determine content duplication (an automated google search for well chosen body content would be a nice start) and if they also made it easy for concerned citizens to report content duplication, where the reporter pastes the source link (system could possibly check pages for some pre-screening of the claim to reduce human intervention) This will happen when one of the sites steps up, or a new site has this feature, or Google enters the arena with it's fabulous auto-fraud-detect AI. But it will happen, I'll just hunker down and wait. :) - - Jesse Content stealing is certainly on the rise.
