The Google Adsense blog today made readers aware of a system that would allow content creators to report those who steal their content and monetize with Adsense. It is inferred that the original content creator should attempt to contact the thief responsible, but if all else fails a complaint should be registered through the Google help center.
It's our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable intellectual property laws.
Of course the first question that crops up is what will Google do to find proof of infringement? After all anyone could report that any competitors content is stolen and cause issues for the Adsense Publisher. I'm not thinking that this will stop all blog scrapers from stealing content, but maybe it will slow down the biggest offenders. A few well placed Adsense bans might put a stop to those who think it's ok to throw up a Spam Blog and monetize with your hard work.
