Phony blogs ripping off legitimate sites
There are a lot of blogs being set up for the sole purpose of scraping articles from sites like this one and collecting advertising revenue. The practice is well described by Raymond Chen at his blog. As Chen relates, original material ends up being credited by search engines to these phony sites and the real author is left in the cold. It’s all rather discouraging for those of us who spend time and effort making posts. These spam blogs (or splogs as some call them) don’t even cause their perpetrators much effort since robots do most of the work for them.
