hi John, I am working on a online education firm. Many people are stealing our content(Question and answers) and hosting in their website without our permission, we identified around 200-250 instances. does google have any tool to identify plagiarism, we tried google alert for all our copyright questions but it's not effective. Suggest us some methodology or tool to protect our content from piracy.thanks
