Some webmasters are plain dumb

So while on a routine search, I found some of my exclusive articles for my business site had be copied and published on a couple of different websites, including “big board” dnforum.com.

Published in entirely, with no source link.

I sent a polite e-mail to the sites, requesting these be taken down.

Apparently, the webmasters in question thought so long as they published my name and company along with the articles, then it wasn’t really a copyright violation. And anyway, I was simply denying myself exposure.

I’m not claiming a halo here, but maybe the owner of DNforum would think about copyright violation in a different manner if I were clever enough to scrape his site and republish it with my own AdSense on top. :)
