Great discussion. I myself churn out about three new articles per week. I just don't read what others have to say about a topic and write my own copy. Usually, my stuff turns out to be very original and at the same time I gain in the search engin wars, with my copy alone.

Now several people are asking me for the right to use my content.

I don't worry about others stealing from me. It has probably happened but why worry about something like that?

It's better to worry about getting the best content possible, as it keeps me on my toes and cosntantly one step before the competition.

If someone had read an article copied from my site elsewhere, and discovered my site after, they would simply realize who the copier was and who the real McCoy was.

Once you have a great body of work updated frequently, I find that Google knows it has to come to your site and archive your pages quickly. By the time someone puts a copy up, their page will be old comapred to mine.

What I've noticed instead, is many directory sites linking to my contents as way to grab some of my lustre.
