Solution proposed on content theft problem

Paul Short has come up with a simple yet brilliant idea on combating content theft through full text RSS feeds: a copyright notice on each post.

By placing the notice on each post, the text will then appear on the pages of the people stealing your content. He also has a RSS2 script for WordPress available at Blog Logic.

I really like the idea, but I’m wondering what you, the readers of the Blog Herald, think about it. For my liking its great lateral thinking, but if I’m going to put a copyright notice at the end of every full post on the RSS feed, I’ll may as well put ads there. And would this then placate Scoble jihad?
