Essential Blog Protections
My Other Blog tips
--------------------------------
Blog is for sharing knowledge and ideas we all agree on that. But definitely it hurts when your hard work got plagiarize without any simple credit given. Not only for recognition of our creation, but also to protect ourselves from allegation of duplicate contents bloggers like you and me need ways to protect our blog.
Neither search engines nor the independent directories like duplicate contents. Sometimes even your blog will list as splog (Spam Blog) for duplicate contents. Sad part is you didn’t even posted those duplicate contents, someone else plagiarize your blog and post it somewhere else and you have to take the fault if you do not have any protection. I myself a believer of free exchange of ideas and information but still had to look for some kind of protection against plagiarism, so that wont got blacklisted just like some of my fellow bloggers did. Copyrighting blog isn’t an option, since it violates blog ethics plus cost lots of money. So I did some research on protecting blog easy way, more effectively speaking free way.
Creative Commons: Most popular free copyright like system specially developed to serve amateur blog, audio production, video, photography, creative writings etc. Creative commons licenses give you the ability to dictate how others may exercise your copyright rights—such as the right of others to copy your work, make derivative works or adaptations of your work, to distribute your work and/or make money from your work. They do not give you the ability to restrict anything that is otherwise permitted by exceptions or limitations to copyright—including, importantly, fair use or fair dealing—nor do they give you the ability to control anything is not protected by copyright law, such as facts and ideas.
So technically your work is copyrighted but not violating free information exchange/ or blog ethics. In feedburner they have options to add creative commons license automatically if you activate that in publicize section.
GNU Free Documentation License: The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non-commercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
A little different from Creative Commons License, does not protect the modification of your work and commercial use. So if you are blogger for money making, I still recommend go with creative commons.

Some fellow blogger consider copyscape as a protection of plagiarism, which allow searching duplicate contents. Though premium search requires money. But in my view copyscape does not protect your creation, which just allows you to search. Copyscape does not consider sharing of information even if credit given, which is unethical for a blogger who believes in free information exchange.
