In this episode, we discuss the unfortunate but important topic of stolen content. Whether it's a single blog page or your entire website, knowing how to handle this situation is crucial. We outline five actionable steps: gathering evidence, contacting the hosting provider, sending a DMCA notice, submitting a DMCA request through Google, and if necessary, reporting to authorities and the domain registrar. We provide key insights and resources to help you respond effectively in case your content is stolen.

1 - Gather Evidence: Document (screenshots or screen recordings) both your site and the fake one as proof.
