I found some of my articles “stolen” like this and I was shocked at first since it was something really new to me. I’ll try to take all these tips into account so that such problems would occur less frequently.

Thanks Glenn! I updated the post with the link to Joost’s plugin, since his plugin also adds a link back to the original post in the RSS footer, which is really smart.

Thanks for sharing this information. I have been a a victim of “Sploggers”, also. It’s a shame the Internet has gone down the pan to bloggers wanting to just make money.

Hi Lorelle! Sploggers are a pain. They make me lose faith in the Internet. But at least we can try to stop them. Thanks for your great posts on the subject!

Miriam, I found your great article through the scraper’s site. It’s a sad world we live in that I’ve become an expert in telling which are scraper sites and which aren’t. Good work on putting your “signature” at the end of the post.

Every blogger, from beginner to expert, is being scraped. Unfortunately, too many feel helpless. Thanks to the work of Jonathan Bailey, many are understanding that they aren’t not helpless victims and that here are ways to fight back within the laws.

Thanks for spreading the word and setting an example!

Jonathan – my opinion about the DMCA was just me being cynical. Many Acts are passed and then they just kind of die off, so I figured this must be the same. But I guess I’m wrong, and I’m especially glad to hear that it applies to non-Americans if their host is in the States.

By the way, I contacted the major splogger who is scraping this site, and had the chutzpah to say that what he is doing is ok because his site is simply like a giant, public RSS feed, and RSS feeds are ok, right?

Lynne – you’re very welcome. May you be blessed with much un-sploginess.
