I created my own websites in the end of 2000s and, since then, my content was stolen too many times.

When social media arose, stealing content became the usual. If we speak about traveling industry, you didn't need to travel to become a travel author - just create a page on facebook called "Beautiful Thailand", for example, and post 2-3 times a day photos of other people. I was technically more skillful that most these people but I never started doing such social media pages. And I was losing money and oppotunities in life.

Yes, social media became stricter about legal rights for content but when a blogger has 100 thousands subscribers (gathered by means of stealing), he / she can easily adapt to new reality.

Once, I had much to say about all this. But these are old wounds that mostly healed.

Today ...I think a creator must build his / her economics properly and this is the main goal and challenge. Stealing is annoying but ... You should not spend much energy in fighting against it... Better to learn how to grow into a bigger beast ... Then thieves will become not more than mosquitoes.
