Pro­tect Con­tent with Copyrights

My pre­vi­ous post included some inter­est­ing fea­tures in terms of Copy­right men­tions. There are on-site and off-site solu­tions which you may have noticed. The post dis­cusses the var­i­ous pos­si­bil­i­ties adding copy­right notices, not their effi­ciency against con­tent scrapers.

Copy­right on-site

On my site I pub­lish a Copy­right men­tion in the footer:

These Copy­right notices are stan­dard and most Word­Press blogs add them auto­mat­i­cally. Such notices can be more or less sophis­ti­cated; auto­mated vCard notices are pos­si­ble and exist in may themes by default.

Copy­right using vCard

For the pur­pose of this exam­ple I have used the vCard entry at the bot­tom of the post, just above the com­ment area as vis­i­ble here:

Copy­right Yorgo Nestoridis vCard

Copy­right using Author Box

The author box is part of the post con­tent and there­fore an on-site as well as off-site feature:

Copy­right Author

The dis­ad­van­tage of the html author box is that it messes up the clean code of the post. Such boxes should be edited in clean code and inserted accordingly.

Copy­right off-site

As men­tioned above, the Authors Box at the bot­tom of the post is part of the post and there­fore trans­fer­able by Feed (RSS, Atom). Con­tent scrap­ers usu­ally scrap by using feeds and by import­ing con­tent to their own web sites.

Author Boxes with clean con­tent are inter­est­ing and accepted also by most direc­to­ries, for as long as they con­tain only one link.

Copy­right added to the Feed

An inter­est­ing idea is to add copy right notices to the out-put feed. The prin­ci­ple is: you add auto­mat­i­cally a copy­right notice to every post in your feeds, with­out hav­ing these notices on dis­play on your own website.

The pre­vi­ous post has been syn­di­cated into YORGOO Pub­lish­ing; here is how the post was auto­mat­i­cally printed:

Copy­right on top of the post:

The orig­i­nal post on Yorgo Nestoridis shows no copy­right on top:

Yorgo Nestoridis Blog

The Copy­right notice added to the feed shows how­ever auto­mat­i­cally on every site syn­di­cat­ing my con­tent as follows:

Copy­right Yorgo Nestoridis on YORGOO Publishing

The same is true for Ycad­emy which syn­di­cated from YORGOO Publishing:

Copy­right Yorgo Nestoridis on Ycademy

The above screen­shots rep­re­sent post pages where the Copy­right notice on top of the post bears active hyper­links. In case the default excerpt is printed, as on the home page of YORGOO Press blogs or on Ycad­emy, then the same notice is served, how­ever with­out active links.

Copy­right at the bot­tom of the post:

The Authors Box has been imported while the vCard has dis­ap­peared as we did not embed it into the code (loop) but served it using an in-line wid­get. To pass on the vCard, the cor­re­spond­ing code can be embed­ded into the WP code. The vCard deliv­ers clean code and could be a bet­ter solu­tion then the HTML Author’s Box.

Author Box on YORGOO Publishing

My pref­er­ence

The most vis­i­ble notice is deliv­ered on top of the post, how­ever in a more ele­gant way than the shrewd word­ing chosed for the pur­pose of this example.

A nice notice could be for exam­ple: “Pub­lished by Yorgo Nestoridis on YORGOO Press” includ­ing the cor­re­spond­ing links.
