I like the topic of this thread, and the fact that it has gained so much attention. It remided me today to go back to the original blacklist thread, and make sure that my list of free backlinks to those sites that have there rougue articles up is up to date.
It brought a topic that needs to be out here where we clean up this issue right into the open. Noone has ever scraped my site, noone has stolen my content, the worst i see in a day is a bit of forum spam.
I write articles and sell them to people that value original content, some value it enough to pay upwards of $500 for an article.. they actually pay to have this original content for their sites.. I imagine how they will feel if someone stole it later on.
I write articles for my own sites.. hours and hours I spend on them.. I can’t imagine how i’d feel to have that time wasted.. as my site is unique and offers unique points of view…
I will draw the line, when I don’t imagine how badly my friends must feel after having been ripped off, so what if the content was stolen from a google search engine description, or from their own site.. it was stolen..
It doesn’t have to be illegal for me or anyone else to speak out against it.. Dom created the best way I can see for us to speak out against it for the time being, as a team, because thats what we are here at CAP, a group with common goals that support each other.
If you havent already done so, PM me with your 888 articles.. and I’ll add your links today.
