Google ADSENSE and Violation of Copyrighted MATERIALS
Couple days back I had received an email from Google Adsense support team I am violating Google Adsense policy and they have stopped serving ads to my site. The reason for this being that I was showing ads in content which for a copyrighted materials. This was mail I had received.
While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages.
As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on sites involved in the distribution of copyrighted materials.
As a result, we have disabled ad serving to the site.
Your AdSense account remains active. However, we strongly suggest that you take the time to review our program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/policies ) to ensure that all of your remaining pages are in compliance.
Please note that we may disable your account if further violations are found in the future.
Initially I couldn’t understand what exactly was the reason for this but later I could figure out what they are talking about. And the next question was whether I can show adsense on these pages on the sidebar and below the content. And to this I got the reply from the adsense support team that
Our program policies state that ads cannot be displayed on any pages that distribute copyrighted materials or violate our terms and conditions in any way. This includes ads placed outside the content or on the sidebars of such pages.
Hence I am in the process identifying the posts which violates the above mentioned policy and not show ads on these pages. Really a big task !!!

Unable to Delete a blog using blogger account.
Blogger displays an error bX-tkcah7 while trying to delete an existing blog from the account. And also the additional information displayed looks more like a developer’s debug message than a useful error information for an user. Hopefully this will be answered in this forum.
