The Full Story

Revenge is sweet!

Heh heh, someone lifted a post and pic from Gadgetizer.com earlier today. They took the full post, hotlinked to the image in that post and reposted it verbatum, with no indication as to where the material came from. It looked as if they had posted it themselves.

In case they already removed the post, here’s a screenshot of what their version of Tiago’s Gadgetizer posts looked like after the ripoff was discovered. - > Their post.

I kindly thank Cary over at ipod-church.com for alerting Tiago and I to the theft, and giving us a bit of entertainment in the process ;-)

Ooh, I just took a closer look at their blog and they’re ripping off full posts from Gizmodo and a couple of others too. Email sent to Gizmodo.com

    Hey, if they can’t give a simple link for a post written by someone else, and even steals the photo by hotlinking, they deserve it.

    Freakin Moron. The perp’s pen name is Vash. I think I know that from somewhere.

    It looks like that entire blog is scraped content and hotlinked pictures. I’ve emailed 6 other blogs about them now so I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire site were gone soon.

    The other hot linked image looks much better now:
