solution to scrapers try Copyscape.com

**"* P* D* <m*@dargan.com>**

Dear GWAA scrap readers: 
My web designer researched the issue and made the following suggestions: 
There really is no way to protect you from people copying content from
your
site and repurposing it for themselves  unless it's a full Flash-based
site. There is a service called Copyscape (http://www.copyscape.com/)
that
you can search to see if anyone has copied your site and then apply the
appropriate action.

As far as filing a complaint, that's out of my expertise. I've never
experienced that before. If it concerns you, I would suggest contacting
your
attorney to apply pressure on the source while simultaneously filing
complaints to Google and Yahoo.

Thanks for alerting me to this problem, Doug..MP
