To me it has a number of benefits over copyscape and copyrightspot:

1. it’s automated and brings me results instead of me searching for duplicated content. All i had to do was submit my feed and it started monitoring my feed showing me who’s republished my articles on the web.

2. i get notified by email so it contacts me when it finds copies of my articles online.

3. i use their image badge feature to alert me directly on my website when my content is being lifted.

4. it’s a free service as opposed the “per page” cost of copyscape/copysentry.

A fair number of contributions seem to be reprints of news or feature stories that appeared elsewhere on the Internet. While I suppose some readers appreciate having these items “called to their attention,” copyright laws still prevail. Most publications allow a paragraph or so to be quoted with proper attribution, but they certainly don’t condone having the entire article reproduced verbatim, even with acknowledgement. I haven’t seen any warnings posted by the monitors of BNN, but when an item is submitted as “this post was written by,” a lot of readers assume it was researched and written by the blogger whose name appears at the top of the piece.
