blogspot.com - flagging a blog

[gaydemon]

Just wondering, is there any point in flagging sites which has stolen videos or illegal stuff on Blogger.com? Do they actually remove the sites?

I think flagging is the wrong way to handle it. You need to mail or fax them a DCMA complaint.

I haven't dealt with Blogspot on this, but last year I found some stuff copied onto a WordPress.com blog and they took down the entire blog, not just the one post. They have a real zero tolerance policy toward it (when it's clear), whereas I think Blogspot isn't as firm (which is why they have such a huge problem with spam)...

Ok, thanks. Good to known.

You are right, for content owners that would be the way forward. But in my case I sometimes come across content that really shouldnt be shown anywhere at all. :whip:

And other times there some blogs which basically has no real content other than links to full dvds to download. On a whole such sites are VERY bad for business what ever way you look at it - sponsor or affiliate.
