I'm simply not willing to invest the effort to hunt down these asshats who steal content. If there were a simpler system in place I'd be much more willing. But as it is, I have little incentive.

If an agreement could be made with these agencies to accept such submissions, and a way to auto-verify the submissions, I'd be first in line with a LONG list of creepy copyright criminals.

As a service provider of filtered RSS content, we see a ton of this show up and are continuously monitoring which blog search engine does the best at filtering out splogs. At last count, Google was the best but Technorati has recently caught up as well. The blog search engines can do a lot of the heavy lifting here by removing sploggers from their indexing thereby reducing their footprint. You could also use ZapTXT to monitor your own posts and receive a notification when ever a post shows up. Cheers, Sameer Lorelle
