I did something similar with images a few years ago. I had a site hot-linking to several images so I replaced those images with new ones using the same file name. They said, "I'm stealing bandwidth" on them. The funny thing is that those stealing blog content also aren’t paying attention to their site so visitors get to see that ‘thief’ message.

There should be some other ways to have fun - by setting up a special RSS feed that includes additional source links like Better Feed (http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/wordpress-plugin-better-feed-rss/) or the RSS Footer plugin (over at Yoast).

The "Content Thief" post was incisive and entertaining. Now all I need to do is to find an RSS feed to steal for my own webpage... not so easy seeing my pet subject is the causes of the Second Punic War! Actually I found your blog by accident, while searching for something else on Google. All the same, I stayed to read more because I found your posts interesting, and (most of all) well written. Perhaps I should introduce myself and explain that last remark! My name is Goodwin A I Manson, and I am a retired schoolteacher. So I am rather fussy about proper spelling and grammar. When I was marking school homework, I always looked for innovative thoughts, credible information, and clear accurate facts. If you had been one of my students, I would have been pleased with your efforts! You obviously enjoy writing, and I hope that you will appreciate a quick comment saying that I liked your blog. Keep up the good work. Wishing you all the best, Kindest regards, Goodwin A I Manson. Thank you, Lynn! The “Content Thief” post was incisive and entertaining.

I like your humor. This clearly refers to some people I know personally. They are pretenders. They want to earn money but don't want to exhaust their brain in coming up with original ideas.

And recently people started posting again. I read my own post again from January 21, 2009 and I must recant my statement. I referred to "your great new leader". I have never been so wrong. Obama has been the biggest failure in American history as far as I can see. Granted... I've only been here 54 years. Obama's steadfast refusal to address the climate fraud issue prior to going over to Copenhagen is alarming as best. I now have to ask whether Obama is tied to the old Enron group? It was never about climate change. It was about a new religion - a world order to tax the planet and transfer wealth from the west to despotic third world countries. Hell, I don't even know if his name is Barak Obama or Barry Soetoro? I read yesterday that he registered in an Indonesian University under the name Barry Soetoro - an Islamic student! Why is that pertinent to this threat you are all thinking? Simple. The movement to investigate and prosecute the Climate Change fraudsters is so large now that the only way they can stop it is to clamp down on the net. There are trillions of dollars riding on their fraud scheme. If you and others don't start defending the freedom of the internet, you won't have an internet. They have no other way to stop it. Oh.. and if you are one of those who have difficulty dropping your old dogma, go here and read the articles and books. Your future pretty much depends upon what actions you take. http://joannenova.com.au/ I receive notices when posts are made to this thread. And recently people started posting again.

The link then leads to another page on their site that is visually different from the rest of their site. That page is 2/3 ads and my original blog post served up inside an Iframe :-( Here’s a neat example of what the scumbags at feedpals think my blog posts should be used for:

Some time ago I made a post about transferring blog posts from one of my blog to another of my posts which had this sentence:

“I know I can set up redirects with a WordPress Plugin for each individual page after I move it – but it’s going to take time to set up 200 redirects one by one.

I also know that I can do a Tools->Export to have the”

Today I found that feedpals took that part of the post, substituted words – presumably in an effort to make “unique content” and made it look like this:

“I undergo I crapper ordered up redirects with a WordPress Plugin for apiece individualist tender after I advise it – but it’s feat to verify instance to ordered up 200 redirects digit by one. I also undergo that I crapper do a Tools-> Export to hit the …”

Look how neatly they translated “can” to “crapper” :-(

The remaining 99% of that page is ads.

But then they were so kind to actually provide a link to my site – sort of.

The link reads “Henrik Flensborg cyberspace Marketing » Blog Archive » Need support …” – where they of course felt the need to translate the original “Internet” to “cyberspace” in the link.

The link then leads to another page on their site that is visually different from the rest of their site. That page is 2/3 ads and my original blog post served up inside an Iframe :-(
