codeproject leech site...
-
I was doing a google search for the application ForestPad that I put up on The Code Project a couple of years ago and I noticed that another site, manbu dot net, seems to be screen scraping code project and delivering the content of articles as if they originated at manbu. Then they are using google adsense on the page to make money off of The Code Project and my article (among many others, of course). This seems slimy to me but is it even legal? Even though I provided the article as an open source thing to Code Project, can a third party just copy the article and code verbatim, strip out information regarding the author, and publish it as their own? An example link is below: link I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. Thanks, Timothy Timothy Lee Russell http://www.anatone.net
Here is a fast way to stop this site- notify Google, which is notorious for evaluating the content of sites on which it has AdWords. Google is particularly finicky over illegal activities, and robo-clicking. Therefore, I have no doubt that Google would forbid further AdWords advertising on this site if they were notified of the illegal actions. I can't believe anyone would stoop to such low-level stealing in the first place. :mad:
