Worried about unsavory folk ripping off the content you sweated over? You may want to try http://www.copyscape.com/.
Copyscape offers several different levels of service. The free search enables you to plug in a URL from you website and search to see if it is being copied and published somewhere else on the 'net.
The Platinum service checks to see if content on your web site is from another source. A good idea if you regularly invite guest writers to post on your site. Cost is .05 per search.
The company also offers Copysentry. For $4.95 per month it will automatically monitor the Web for copies of content from your web pages.
Once you find someone who is plagiarizing your work you can send them an e-mail and ask them to remove it. If they don't respond you can send a DMCA takedown request to their ISP/Hosting company. Unfortunately, unless you are willing to get legal there's not much else you can do.
