One of Attributor.com's services monitors how syndicated news carriers are republishing syndicated news content online. Check out this email:
Attributor Inc., a transparent and responsible bodyguard for online news publishers, announced May 31 that United News, the largest and oldest independent news outlet, has chosen Attributor to monitor infringing content. Attributor uses context to prove where and how the content was reposted, and United News can make smart decisions based on that data.
Syndicated news makes its money on content. How do we understand "smart judgment"? When they find that the infringing repost is not certain, or it may just be a blog, it is tantamount to suing a ghost.
Tracking infringers has always been easy, Google web search, blog search, the hard part is how to deal with these infringers, if you have a blog, and you find that a spam blog automatically republishes all your content, you can see how difficult it is, if you ask the host to remove the copy, It'll take weeks of email exchanges to see the results.
