Why You’re Seeing More of My Face

I like to share the title or a little summary of your article with my personnel, is that fine?
Yes, as long as youre not republishing the entire thing and or passing it off as your own. If you desire somebody to check out the whole post, provide the link to it..

You may have noticed that my face is appearing in more of the cover images for my blog posts and in more of the cover images for my videos. The factor is that in my on-going fight versus sites that republish my content without permission it is much easier for me to show evidence of ownership and creativity when my face is in the cover image. Filing DMCA takedown notifications is time-consuming and even when submitted appropriately some hosting companies still require even more proof of initial work and ownership. Being able to state, “hey, thats my image of myself wearing my favorite flannel shirt” is a lot simpler and faster than writing an explanation of the creativity of my blog site post.

Can I forward your newsletter to my colleagues?
Yes, naturally. Hit the forward button in your inbox and share it as I composed it (over-use of hyphens and parentheses is one of the hallmarks of my blog site posts so dont be tempted to edit those out)..

The majority of the websites that are taking my work these days are doing so by means of automated means. Its relatively easy to write a script that scrapes all of the content from an RSS feed and imports it into a different website. Truncating or stopping my RSS feed stops a few of the thieves, but many have moved onto utilizing scripts that scrape straight from the site rather of from the RSS feed. Thats a little more difficult to stop so my option is to file DMCA takedown notifications with Google to get them to remove the offending content from their outcomes pages. Additionally, I then file DMCA takedown notices with the sites hosting services..
Filing DMCA takedown notifications is time-consuming and even when submitted correctly some hosting companies still require even more evidence of original work and ownership. Being able to say, “hey, thats my photo of myself wearing my favorite flannel shirt” is a lot easier and faster than composing an explanation of the creativity of my blog site post. Still, some shady hosting business (generally located beyond the United States) wont do a darn thing to honor my demand.
