If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

As long period of time followers of my blog and Twitter account understand, copyright is a topic that I am enthusiastic about. Thats mostly due to the quantity of websites that steal my work on a daily basis. Some of them, like the popular Bloglovin service, claim that theyre refraining from doing anything wrong and are in fact assisting bloggers get more exposure. Both of those claims are false..

Bloglovin isnt assisting blog writers at all. By republishing whole short articles without consent theyre violating the original authors copyright. Moreover, by republishing whole articles they are removing any reward to visit the actual source of the post which negates Bloglovins claim that theyre helping blog writers get more direct exposure..
Google concurs with me on this as evidenced by the fact that whenever I submit a DMCA takedown notice with Google they remove the offending Bloglovin URL from their index..
I made a brief, ranting video about this Bloglovin concern. You can see it here if you like. In either case, stop using Bloglovin to check out post and rather use a service like Feedly which does things best or just visit your favorite blogs straight..
