Full Rights License Question

[PaulMaplesden]

Hi there, quick question.

I have a few articles that were previously published on another website but that are now unpublished and not indexed by Google; from an SEO perspective, they are original content.

Can I add these articles to CC under a Full or Unique rights license, or do they need to be offered under a usage license?

Thanks,

Paul.

No, there is a good chance the articles were scraped even partially, so you have to go for use. It's not worth chancing it.

Thanks Lysis; I did run the content through CopyScape Pro and got no hits, but I appreciate the advice. It looks like sticking to usage only is the way to go.
