Stolen Content
I just arrived back from my vacation a few hours ago and was shocked to find that someone stole one of blog entries! A new linkback led me to a site called LifeTechnology.org. The article in question is one I wrote a while back about I-Doser. It has since been the most popular entry on my site, and drives the majority of my traffic. If you follow the link, you will see that they copied the entry word for word, leaving only a link under the title to my site. If you ask me, that is a blatant case of plagiarism. They don’t even leave a direct link to the actual entry, and never once asked my permission to use it. I have written them an email, but somehow I doubt that will solve the problem. Who would have though that a tiny blog like mine would be the victim of this kind of theft? I know I have seen things like this on more popular blogs like Fracas, but I never would have expected it to happen to me. Anyone have any ideas of how to deal with this?

It’s good you called them out the way you did. Isn’t stealing content tantamount to admitting you have no brain yourself? Idiots.
Yeah I don’t really understand what copying content accomplishes for your blog. They did take the entry down after the email though. I wasn’t expecting it to work but I was pleasantly surprised.
