Duplication of articles from codeproject at howtocode.net
-
Hi, just realized my article from codeproject was duplicated to howtocode.net - just wondering, is there any official affiliation or was this just a way to "borrow" articles? Couldn't find anything neither on Google nor in the forums... For example, http://www.howtocode.net/web-development/asp-net/asynchronous-http-handler-for-asynchronous-blob-datareader[^] http://beta.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/AsyncBLOB.aspx[^] Thanks in advance

Hi Leon, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will send them a legal nastygram (though the name looks familiar - I will check with legal if there is a status for them)

They had some of my CP artices there too so I've emailed them asking for immediate removal.

the majority of articles over there seem "borrowed" from CP. Another source they use is devx.com :|

Hi Sean, I actually got a reply to my email from someone who I assume to be the sys admin:- "Thanks. Nobody cares about howtocode.net -- including myself. Disabled it for your benefit." The site seems to have been taken down, for now at least :thumbsup: If you want the email forwarding, let me know.

:laugh: Starting a site such as that from scratch in today's world is pretty much impossible but stealing content is not the way to try I'm sure you agree. Maybe the guy would be better off starting a homework questions answered site? It sure would help out CP/SO etc and it would be guaranteed to get a huge amount of traffic and therefore get advertisers flooding in ;)
