And, if you’re talking about the Internet, you can guarantee that every single day new forms of technology are developed to help enhance our online experience. Matter of fact, it changes so fast that most people take for granted the hours developers put in to make our online activities smooth and effortless.

Recently, as I was checking my Google Alerts and trackbacks, I noticed the URL of a chiropractic site that was scraping my blog’s content without permission.

Since my content is both copyrighted and registered with Creative Commons, I quickly notified the offender of his violation and politely asked him to remove it as soon as possible.

How to Protect Your Chiropractic Content via the S3MediaVault WordPress Plugin

This week in Blogging Chiros, chiropractors are learning how to create a membership site for their prospects and patients. So far, we’ve discussed why chiropractors need a membership site, the software that makes it possible, and how to protect content from being stolen.

Since content is the foundation of membership sites, knowing how to protect it is vitally important. And, if you want to protect it from being freely distributed, you need even more security than what most membership software provides.

But what if you don’t have plans to create a membership site? Should chiropractors still protect content that’s being published to their chiropractic blog?
