Advanced fingerprinting algorithms, a large scale crawling infrastructure and detailed contextual analysis provide publishers with web-wide visibility of their articles, images or videos. Using the Attributor platform, customers can monitor licensed uses, identify new sales leads and revenue-sharing opportunities, and derive more links and better search engine placement.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The FAQ then goes on to talk about how they don&#8217;t want to immediately send out DMCA notices for such things, but instead enhance <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Monetize\">monetization<\/a> by sending requests to those copying content asking for appropriate links back, attributions, etc. They also claim that their tool (Dashboard) can take <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\">Creative Commons<\/a> licenses into account and help ensure that the license is being followed accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really mind, since all this content is fairly original and put out for everyone to see and read, but it is interesting to see the scanning actually happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do any of you who run blogs ever notice occasional rashes of indexing from 64.41.128.xxx?
