Years ago I filed DMCA complaints against blogspot sites that copied my content. Hundreds of DMCA complaints against hundreds of blogspot sites. (I am not exaggerating when I say hundreds). It was great because Google almost always (over 98% of the time) took down the posts I complained about.
These blogs always had AdSense on them. I assume (and hope) the publisher got into trouble with AdSense when I filed the complaint.
After a hiatus, I have begun with the DMCA investigation and complaints again. But nowadays it seems the blogs never have AdSense. Sure, Google removes the posts I complain about, but I doubt the offending blogger is being punished in any way. Google isn't kicking them out of AdSense because the blogs don't have AdSense anymore. The offending posts were made years ago, so I am sure there was AdSense present at the time but now there are no ads on these blogs.
Is Google no longer allowing AdSense on Blogspot blogs? If so, the thrill I get out of filing these DMCAs is diminished. I want to get copies removed from the web, of course, but the real pleasure is in knowing I am helping sleazeballs get kicked out of AdSense. If nobody is getting kicked out of AdSense, I don't know why I bother.
