We have a competitor who is rewriting the content from our blog. It has caused us a couple of problems with clients phoning us and asking if we have shared their cases study information with this company. We have their agreement to publish case studies on our own blog providing we change their names and locations.
The competitors company name is similar to our own. He is either spinning the content using software or using someone whose first language is not English. The content on his blog is gobbledegook but the case studies are clearly ours. It's not inconceivable that he has similar clients to ours but there is so much detail in his blogs that it's clear he is rewriting our content.
One of our clients called the competitor and asked how their cases study was on his blog. He told them that we had an excellent content writer and that he was just rewriting our stuff. He made a point of saying that it was perfectly legal for him to do this.
Running his stuff through Copyscape some come up as over 70% plagiarised and some 0% but in every detail each case study is the same as ours.
We have asked him to stop doing this and his response was to rewrite more of our stuff.
Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas what we can do about it?
