Blogging Alert: Must Have Tool to Prevent Copy Infringement…

Ok. An article came out about this a couple days ago but I was waiting for my invite to come through and it just came through! The new program is called FairShare and it does a lot. Basically it lets you attribute your work and it’s pretty simple …

@Oshani That is pretty compelling data – for blogs, we typically see that 35-40% fail to link back. 78% misattribution on images is amazing.

Hopefully, with visibility, everyone will play fair. We’re a little ways off from adding images, but we will get there with a little luck.

thanks for pointing this out – hopefully, we will meet at the next CC summit!

@Rich re: adding image capabilities

We did research project at MIT on detecting CC attribution license violations on Flickr images on the web [1]. (I presented this idea at the CC Tech Summit last December)

Generalizing this idea to any properly RDF-annotated image is the direction we are heading right now.

Also, check [2] for some results from the study on license violations of Flickr images on the web.

Sorry – I wasn’t trying to be evasive. We are part of Attributor.

Thanks Rich,

I don’t get it, are you guys part of Attributor, or are you separate from them and have some sort of deal to use their index?

@ROW Sorry, I was shamed by your comment as we should have caught this. We still have some basic stuff to add, including feed management, etc. The good news is that some of this will be rolled out this week.

@Rich: I was wondering why you didn’t reply on my earlier comment.
Now I see validations are up.

I personally use the http://www.copygator.com website, i don’t see how fairshare.cc offers anything above what they offer at copygator.com

1. copygator = automated and brings me results instead of me searching for duplicated content. All i had to do was submit my feed and it started monitoring my feed showing me who’s republished my articles on the web.

2. i get notified by email so it contacts me when it finds copies of my articles online.

3. i use their image badge feature to alert me directly on my website when my content is being lifted.

4. it’s a free service

Yes, we can only handle text right now but we do plan to add image capabilities . . . although we’re going to be busy for a while on the text service

Any chance this will spread out to cover other media, for instance, images and the like? I would be interested to know if other people are reposting the non-blog material I keep on my site.

Thanks for sharing. Kinda gud thing for speeding up trackbacking process or may be checking if your work/words are being spreaded with same view point you want to.

We’ll be benefitted only if we show our concerns.

@mark FairShare uses the same index as Attributor. In other words, if you use FairShare you get the same results as Attributor’s customers like Conde Net and the Financial Times

@Salman At this point, yes, it is purely a visibility service. You can of course contact folks yourself for links. FairShare is not about takedowns though

@Rebecca Because it uses the same index as Attributor, the costs are pretty low. We have several options wrt revenue model but our focus now is giving bloggers visibility on where their posts go.

@Lili Yes, we do think can be a great link building tool. Do you think we should include page rank in the results so you know whom to target?

@Steve Great point – that is one of the reasons the service is based on Creative Commons which has arguably figured out these issues. More coming about FairShare/Creative Commons soon

@jason Definitely interested in your take after your see some results. FairShare has nothing to do with copyright and should indeed give you a way to see how far your work goes and eventually make money from your posts after they leave your site. We’re just starting out but you will see some cool new features rolling in.

Oh, it would be a great link building tool! Apart from that I strongly doubt it would benefit to most bloggers in terms of hunting down abusers, law suits etc.
