If You Care About Copyright, Stop Using Blog Lovin’

As very long time fans of my blog and Twitter account know, copyright is a subject that I am enthusiastic about. Thats largely due to the amount of websites that steal my deal with a daily basis. Some of them, like the popular Bloglovin service, claim that theyre refraining from doing anything incorrect and are actually assisting bloggers get more exposure. Both of those claims are incorrect..

Bloglovin isnt helping bloggers at all. By republishing entire articles without approval theyre violating the initial authors copyright. Moreover, by republishing entire posts they are getting rid of any incentive to go to the actual source of the short article which negates Bloglovins claim that theyre helping blog writers get more exposure..
Google agrees with me on this as evidenced by the reality that each time I file a DMCA takedown notice with Google they remove the angering Bloglovin URL from their index..
I made a brief, ranting video about this Bloglovin concern. If you like, you can watch it here. In any case, stop using Bloglovin to read post and instead use a service like Feedly which does things best or just visit your preferred blogs straight..
