original content developers

protecting original content

[MasonG]

Does anyone know if there are any associations out there that lobby against sites that steal and repost and make money one that stolen content? Perhaps a group that lobbies agencies not to advertise on sites that steal? Is anyone interested in trying to develop a lobby group for original content creators?

Hi,

I'm in the process of building a site aimed at bringing together information regarding website content/design thieft. I hope to educate people on there options (I need to educate myseld first though) and give a hall of shame (where webmasters can post proof of people thiefts).

Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but I'm open to suggestions.

BTW, I knoe there is a website which is run by many major universities aimed at digital copyrights and does something like I mentioned above. Although it's not easy to understand for people new to it.
