That jack ripped my article in record time. Didn't bother changing one word, then posted a link to it in newsgroup.

Are you going to tell them to take it down?

**John Scott** · 02-05-2006, 12:56 AM

The dude is in India. Kind of out of reach.

Can't you report it to their ISP or server host or someone?

Loads ok here. You have to take the space out after the two slashes.

Maybe we should all leave a friendly suggestion in comments?

Thanks Basicus. I'm working on more articles, but been busy with the recent interviews and my blog.

Got one coming out real soon on alternative to search engines, one on increasing conversion rates, and one on the snowball effect.

He got busted in newsgroup - the first person to read it posted that it was a John Scott article, but he still hasn't taken it down.

It's almost funny because in another article on his blog, he said,

Quote:

"So, be different. It'll be worth it. Actually hire a writer, or write content yourself that you can't find anywhere else. This is what sustainable business is all about".

Maybe he "borrowed" that article too.

What an ass, does it go against anything in the TOS? I wouldn't understand all that, someone scan it.

Shall we post in the comments section and draw some Indian traffic? Of course I shall post under the nom de plume of Burg Turdler.

**John Scott** · 02-05-2006, 01:24 AM

I might just send an email to Blogger about it.

Just pisses me off that I gotta waste my time fighting all these rippers.

I've been sending out cease & desist letters for the last two weeks straight!

Here's what I've learned....

PEOPLE ARE STUPID! (I have yet to find a good work around to this foul up) And great Idea with the legal area...

Heh, the blog owner has to approve comments too.

Douche bag.

Klaas Koopman · 02-08-2006, 08:46 AM

perhaps this guy is being scammed aswell, perhaps he hire's people to write for him! I've had this 2 times ( And I only wrote around 20 articles lol )

Would it be ripping / illegal if he linked back to the article or to V7N?
