Is there a way to find if anyone's stolen your MySpace info (layout/about me/pictures/etc)?
I've been having a few problems with people stealing information off my profile. Most of the time it's my about me info or pictures. I've tried both tineye and copyscape but they don't seem to really work, they don't even come up with other pages that I've already found to have stolen my content.
If anyone knows of any alternative sites that could help or tips with searching then please let me know :)

Well according to both MySpace's terms and the law itself, if it's marked copyright than it is illegal to reproduce without permission.
The pictures I've done what I can to try and stop being stolen, watermarked and private albums, it's the text I have more trouble with. I have been sent several other profiles which have copied word-for-word things I have written about myself, I've tried coding the html to try and stop right click but there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent copy and pasting. Like I said earlier though, I have put a copyright logo on my page regarding the content but that doesn't deter them in any way.
Just because I've had my content stolen does not make it my fault, it is still illegal and people should not be forced to leave online websites just because they don't like it that people steal their work. I have done all I can to prevent it as I said so rather than telling me I only have myself to blame I would much rather appreciate helpful tips in protecting my content.

the simple answer is you can't.
if somebody can display something on their computer screen or hear it through the speakers then they can get a copy of it. it's a fact of life if you don't want anyone to be able to take your content you don't put it on the internet in a usable form, in the case of pictures this would normally mean putting only low quality, watermarked, thumbnails online for the general public to see.
