This is an excellent and informative piece but it all comes back to square1: if it's on the Web it's rife for being stolen. Aside from throwing a hissyfit, nothing can be done.

I've been preaching this in a business blogging sense to a lot of writers who believe that they can in fact copywrite or trademark their postings. As a writer, author, blogger and member of the Writer's Guild of America, I agree: the Internet is public domain. Anything out there is there for the taking.
The most you can hope for when somebody plagiarizes a business blog or any type of article is that they will find the decency to credit the original author...though they usually don't!
