¿Qué hacer con el plagio en forma de infracción de derechos de autor?

Copyright is a form of intellectual property (IP). Copyright provides an artist or a writer an exclusive right for a specified period. Copyrights can extend to any idea or product, including software, art, poetry, graphic designs, musical lyrics and compositions, novels, film, original architectural drawings, website content, etc.

Individuals and companies who develop new products and ideas register for copyright protection to ensure that they can commercially benefit from their original work. Other parties and companies may be granted permission to use those works through licensing arrangements or by buying the copyright holder’s works. But using it without permission from the owner for any reason whatsoever counts as a violation of copyright lawIn addition, it can be subject to legal actions and lawsuits.

Hence, if you are printing or forwarding it, without the author’s permission, it violates the author’s exclusive rights. The most important type of email that one needs to pay attention to is copyright notices and warnings on the email or adjoining attachments.

Un usuario puede infringir los derechos de autor al publicar contenido en una red pública o privada para que otros accedan sin el permiso del autor o la publicación original.

Cómo documentar una sospecha de infracción de derechos de autor

Puedes hacerlo en los siguientes pasos:

  1. Tome una captura de pantalla de la página web en cuestión.

  2. Next, download the source code. To do that, just click on “File” and then “Save Page As.” Now your source code is downloaded.

  3. Luego, tome el código y busque en cualquier sitio relacionado para ver si se ha utilizado.

  4. Si se ha utilizado el código de búsqueda, puede presentar las pruebas, junto con las capturas de pantalla, en un tribunal de justicia.

Es importante tener en cuenta que necesita información relevante, como el navegador (incluida la versión del navegador) que estaba utilizando para encontrar la infracción de derechos de autor.

Además, se debe consultar a un abogado sobre el asunto.

Cómo saber cuándo se usó tu contenido por primera vez

Usa los siguientes pasos:

  1. Search for the date when the article first went live.

  2. Check how long the page in question is live with WHO-IS. Why? Well, because it tracks the whole site, if not the individual pages.

  3. Visit Archive.org to have a look at the version of the website. It is done because, at times, the page that contains the content is not available, so for a future courtroom battle, you should have all these things within reach.

Cómo saber si hay monetización

A Common way to check that is by the existence of any advertisement campaign being run. If it is present, it can be said that money was made from that webpage. In that case, a notification to the advertisement agency ensures that the campaign is terminated. Apart from all these, some online agencies and extensions can help know whether the duplicate content in use is monetized.

Cómo el contenido duplicado afecta su clasificación en Google y otros motores de búsqueda

If the imposter’s web page is indexed, and if your original content isn’t, then there is a possibility that you will lose your ranking. To determine whether your web page ranking is hurt, just use the targeted keywords on the search engine. If your suspected site appears at a higher rank and yours at a lower rank (or doesn’t appear at all), then the damage has been done.

Cómo eliminar el contenido

First of all, contact the site owner and let them know that the content they are using is the result of your hard work. Share the URL of your web page to validate your facts. 

How do you contact the site owner? Well, there’s always the “Contact Us” form. However, if you don’t reply after that, you can use the ‘Terms of use’ as often the company address is written there. 

You can also get the address from the WHO-IS. After you have sent the removal request to the site owner, the content will likely be removed. However, if it is still there, you can also go take legal action.
