Bitacle Must STOP
Sep. 24th, 2006 01:54 pmIt is completely unacceptable that my entries are republished elsewhere in their full entirety, without my permission.
That these people have the audacity to put advertising links on their site only makes it even worse.
lordandrei so far has two useful posts on the subject, with links.
I do have my LJ options set to not search indexing. Either they ignore this setting or they spider in from someone else's link.
Publishing full posts is NOT aggregating RSS feeds. Using my work as their content to publish with ads is not acceptable.
Apparently they have changed from claiming that people's posts were covered under Creative Commons, to saying the copyright belongs to the authors. They are violating my copyright.
I have written to them and to adsense-abuse@google.com I strongly urge you to check whether your posts are unacceptably archived there, and if so to do the same.
Do not expect any more public livejournal posts of any effort or value. This is sad, but assholes make it that way.
There are ways to control this on systems where you are using wordpress or have access to the .htaccess configuration... or even actually set up a REAL RSS feed that's just a tease. Wholesale copying of the entire content will just make the content not happen.
