Simple Feed Copyright: Wordpress Plugin

How many blogs use this plugin?
Download stats reveal that over 1600 blogs might be using it.
Why do I need this plugin?
It has become common practice to add a copyright notice at end of articles in your full text atom or RSS feeds, to discourage content theft and feed scrapping sites from republishing your copyrighted content. This plugin inserts a simple copyright notice, and the link will pingback when the feed is republished elsewhere.
Can I do this without a plugin?
Most plugins are hacks to the wordpress code. If you are not comfortable editing the wordpress core files , then this wordpress plugin is the simplest solution for you.
Can’t you just use the_content_rss filter instead of checking to see if it’s a feed?
thanks for the plugin, is great!!!

Thanks for the plugin. Right now, it places a link to the homepage of the blog.
What would be the code to add the following additional information:
1. A link to the article itself using the article title for the hyperlink.
2. A link to the tags used and the category it belongs to.
Thanks

it’s awesome
thanks, I’ll be using this on 2 of my sites.
In an earlier comment sarah asked about having a link in the post. Good idea but I see most people using my articles as text, removing all formatting and links that I had included.
SOS! My auto was broken on road. Should I call ot repairs or police?
Yes, it’s real, I know!
Good Plugin
This plugin is not working for me. What did I do wrong?
Hi there, just have to say thanks for saving me from having to edit a core file now and every other time I upgrade WordPress.
At least if they want to scrape my content now, I’ll get a link back to the original of the particular item in question.
This is super handy and I’ll definitely share this little gem.
how do I make this plugin show the four-digit year in the copyright notice rather than just the last two digits (i.e.., 2009 versus 09)?
It shows 4 digits for me.
For some reason the plug-in will not work in Firefox 3(I have 3.0.5). Meaning it does not give you a clickable link back to your website. All it does, is show you the following in normal ANSI/Text format.
©2009 “Your Blog Title” All Rights Reserved.
But it works fine in IE7.
