Copyright Infringement Google Question???

[pepekobasa]

So, there is one guy who emailed me and reported me at Google because he says that I copied his article. However, I only use his website as one of my references. Our topic is almost the same, but the body of my article is vastly different from his website. I get an idea from his site but what I have written is very different from his site. Some of our subheadings have some simillarities, but I rephrased the sub-headings.

I want to ask if it is against the google policy, because as far as I know, it isn't. Hoping for your kind answers

Looks like his case is weak and you're all good then : )

He already reported me. What do you think should I do next? Maybe he is just afraid that I can defeat his articles in ranking LMAO. I wrote 4000 words and he wrote 2000 words only on that certain topicc

Just settle it by mentioning him or his website in your article. You'll be fine.

Yes, I emailed him already. But if he insisted, then I think his case is weak because I didn't copy his whole articles.

It's most likely neg SEO attempt.

If you are really original it will be pointless.

Funny story actually, let me tell you. We both started the site last year but he started 2 months earlier than me. Based on SEOquake he started april 2020 while me, I started July 2020. I see that he is already ranking and I email him last August 2020. the time my site is new, if I could submit a guest post and he didn't replied on my email. Now that I am ranking more keywords than him, he replied. Well, let's say his the first one initiating now. LMAO

[pepekobasa]

He said he will contact Amazon. I hope Jeff Bezos replied to him LMAO

That fella sounds like a Karen. As long as you've referenced him, don't have to worry about any serious repercussions.

Google needs to check if the claims are valid or not. As per Google's policy:
"If we receive a valid infringement notification identifying content associated with your work, it will be removed and you may receive a strike."
