Boy this Makes me Mad! Blog Scraping by Imran Yousaf

This is to give you something interesting and relaxing to look at before you read my rant.

Mr Imram Yousaf from Pakistan has stolen my blog content and reposted it at his blog.

I hate to send any traffic his way, but just be aware, this can happen to you. I found this stuff when I was searching for my blog in google. This guy really makes me sick. Check out my content on his blog:

http://justmastee.blogspot.com/2008/03/ohio-birds.html

This post even has copyright information on my photos.

And beware, don’t click on his other links that don’t sound like they are about Ohio Nature. He’s got plenty of adult images there. How that content matches up with my blog content- I will never know.

I’ve sent Mr. Yousef a cease and desist e-mail, and I would very much appreciate if others would also write Mr. Yousef and tell him what you think of this objectionable practice.

His e-mail addresses are:

infologiximran@gmail.com

and

infologix_imran@yahoo.com

Thanks to all, and this is just a way to let you know that this can happen to any of us bloggers. I’ve used Copyscape in the past to prevent this sort of stuff, but this time, Copyscape didn’t pick up this site, I just stumbled into it.

Thanks everyone,

A very irate Tom

At least I must have good content if somebody else steals it, right?
