How to Fight Copyright Violations - Get Your Content Off Other Sites

Content Hosted on Blogger or Picassa

Google requires that all reports of copyright violations on Blogger or Picassa be sent to them via postal mail or fax. While this may seem tedious, I have found that submitting reports to Blogger works much better than simply emailing them as in step 2. Many Blogger copyright thieves do not include any contact information on their sites and will ignore comments placed on their blog entries.

  1. Write a letter to Google. Google has a very specific format they want you to send copyright violation noticies. I've posted a sample letter on my site that follows their format exactly.
  2. Sign the paper.
  3. Send the written communication to the following address:
    Google, Inc.
    Attn: Google Legal Support, Blogger DMCA Complaints
    1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
    Mountain View, CA 94043
  4. OR fax to:
    (650) 618-2680, Attn: Blogger Legal Support, DMCA Complaints

You can also report sites that appear in Google search in a similar way. Follow the instructions on the Google DMCA Policies page for more information.
