Re: blogs and scrapers

**"c*@netzero.net" <c*@netzero.net>**

Just had another thought. (Amazing, right?)

Along with writing Google (done.) and sending a cease and desist letter to the offending pirate, I decided that I'd plant a bomb in my own blog. 

My latest blog post states that if it's being read ANYWHERE but on my blog/website, it's being STOLEN. It ends with a request that readers avoid such "aggregating" sites and support the writers and photographers they enjoy. 

I am NOT even going to revisit the criminal's site (no need to give them additional traffic) to see if it's picked up--I think it's fair at this point to assume that they'll grab anything we post...

TEAM EFFORT folks...we should gang up on these bastards with every tactic we have at our disposal. If anyone has another idea for counterattacking, post it.
