Does the scraped content still have your canonical tags and links to your original content intact? Do you have text in your pages that say it is copywrighte by you, amnd if so, does it show up on the scraper's site?

They either:
- put nofollow on link the source link to my site or
- put a link to another scraper site like it was the original source or
- remove link

Some of the sites have a copyright notice, like they were the original creator.

I hadn't copyright notice, since I thought it doesn't matter to have it and that whatever I publish on my site is my property. But yesterday I put it on all pages, in the footer of the template.

Can you explain me a bit how canonical tags can help with this? I've tried to search for that but no success.

And here's another problem - Is it smart to block IPs of .blogspot.com? blogspot spam sites are all over the place, all I can do is to manually report spam to blogspot.
