Spam blogs and plagiarism
Here is an aspect of plagiarism we need to find a way to block. When I access the admin section of the blog I saw a new link to my site by a site called "Divorce Lawyer NY". Checking the link I discover that my post about freedom of speech in Poland become part of spam blog.
Looking around I saw that the site linked to my original post, probably to protect themselves legally. The content of the post is based only on the original post without any addition of content from the spam blog, they however posting the name of the author as their own. The only thing that changes is that the site mark key words that will drive the type of advertisement they want. I wasn’t able to see how they effect the search results, and I will not help them by linking from this post, but in blog search they appearing pretty high in the result.
So it seems that by by stilling content, based on certain key words, inserting advertisement in a disguise of links in the post and manipulating the search results become a money maker for this guys. This was not my intention when I wrote what I wrote and worse than that - I have no Idea how to protect my content from such use. I will be happy to get some ideas how to fight it.

If they are using your content without permission, regardless of whether or not they link back to your original post, you can simply file a DMCA notice with their host and get the content removed. You can also report them to their advertisers and see about getting their funding cut.
If you need any help with that, let me know and I'll gladly do what I can.
Hope that this helps you out some!
