Greek39, this subject has been discussed in this exact same context dozens upon dozens of times over the years; nothing new in this thread that wasnt mentioned in past threads, in past years.
If someone claims that since they are only assembling SERP content and not taking it from my site its not stealing; and that since they are only using a few lines of my content that its perfectly ok, then its my opinion that they are full of shit.
The search engines use my sites name, title, description, metas, and content. In return they provide me with a link and the luxury of being included in the SERPS when one of the millions of users does a search for something related to my site/content etc.
The blackhatter assembling those SERPS takes my sites name, title, description, metas, and content; and then alters the link to my site to direct it to his/her benefit. I get nothing in return, but this piece of shit gets to benefit off of my content. Nope thats not ok with me.
This has zero, nada, nothing to do with SEO or that some are better at it than others. It has everything to do with using someone elses content without their permission or without credit being given (in fairuse applications.) To claim that this is all about SEO and that what the scrapers is doing is not against the law, is disgraceful.
