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.

  1. 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.

  3. I also cannot see the link in FF, but it is in IE. Strange. Any ideas why? I have just installed WP 2.8.5 and this plugin today, so maybe an issue with latest version?
