    As someone who makes a living publishing content, I honestly don't care much what people do with it. I publish under the loosely defined "copyleft" license. You can take my content, change it around/alter it, republish it exactly as it is - whatever the hell you want. But you have to publish THAT content under the copyleft license too. If it's web based I ask for a no-nofollow link back to the original, but even then I don't really bother to check.

    People who scrape every single post I write tend to frustrate me, as I consider that just a lazy way to try and make a buck. But most of those splogs are here today gone tomorrow, as they're always scrapping from people who get really bent out of shape about it, and are forced down.

    Copyleft - sounds interesting - does that mean "leftist"? I as well have
    resigned myself to passive tolerance of splogs - it irks me but I have yet
    to act by tracking down the splogger or contacting their advertisers.
    But my passive acceptance doesn't mean I advocate the practice.

    when we publish our feed, there is a chance for other people to republish on their blog without give a link back to us but thats is the risk and we cant avoid it.
