If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

As long time fans of my blog and Twitter account understand, copyright is a subject that I am enthusiastic about. Some of them, like the popular Bloglovin service, claim that theyre not doing anything wrong and are actually assisting bloggers get more direct exposure.

Bloglovin isnt assisting blog writers at all. By republishing entire short articles without consent theyre violating the original authors copyright. Moreover, by republishing entire articles they are eliminating any reward to go to the actual source of the short article which negates Bloglovins claim that theyre assisting bloggers get more exposure..
Google concurs with me on this as evidenced by the fact that whenever I file a DMCA takedown notification with Google they remove the offending Bloglovin URL from their index..
I made a brief, ranting video about this Bloglovin issue. If you like, you can see it here. In any case, stop using Bloglovin to read article and instead utilize a service like Feedly which does things right or simply visit your favorite blog sites directly..
