Roubo de conteúdo – O que fazer de acordo com o Google

An article by Mario Andrade

Este é o ultimo artigo da série Roubo de Conteúdo na qual falei sobre o que fazer para prevenir e preparar um site ou blog contra o roubo de propriedade intelectual.
Hoje achei importante realçar alguns passos que o Google recomenda fazer caso exista roubo de conteúdo. Existe por aí muito boa gente que pretende lucrar com o trabalho dos outros e não devemos ser benevolentes com quem se quer aproveitar de nós.

O que fazer de acordo com o Google:

Identificar e detalhar o conteúdo original
Identificar o material roubado que infringe o direito de autor
Dispor informação suficiente para permitir que Google Inc. analise o conteúdo e entre em contacto com o autor do conteúdo original
Dispor de informação, quando possível, que permita a Google Inc, notificar o autor ou administrador do conteúdo roubado

No passado tive conteúdo do MUIOMUIO roubado e contactei a equipa do Google Adsense após ter contactado o autor do conteúdo roubado e não obter qualquer resposta. A resposta da Google Inc foi a seguinte:

It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website: http://www.copyright.gov/) and other applicable intellectual property laws. In this case, this means that if we receive proper notice of infringement, we will forward that notice to the responsible web site publisher.

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail, not by email) that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that pursuant to that Act, you may be liable to the alleged infringer for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that you own an item when you in fact do not. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether you have the right to request removal from our service, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following
format (including section numbers):

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon. For example, “The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on http://www.legal.com/legal_page.html.”

2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing upon the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above. You must identify each page that allegedly contains infringing material by providing its URL.

3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit Google to contact you (email address is preferred).

4. Include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the allegedly infringing webpages is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”

5. Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”

6. Sign the paper.
