Content thieves!

This is really interesting and blew my mind. An hour after I published my previous post, it was copied and posted elsewhere in their own blog claiming as their own original post.

I woke up earlier and checked my blog for comments among other things. I decided, I'll google "yamiLuceid" and see what comes up. Of course I saw my blog and other things that I am familiar with. But there was this one site that came up. It was completely unknown! The blog title was "Cruelty Of Terrorism" and it had my unalternate post that I made a few hours ago. So why would a blog about terrorism have a topic about Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology? I don't know if this blogger just copies random website contents from others and post it as his own. But he did have other crap about politics which I have absolutely no interest in. It's just so funny how all of a sudden, he had pictures of anime and game stuff in his blog.

Anyways, I sent him a comment to take it down or provide a link to my blog instead. I also took a full screenshot of the copied content on his website. Now I have to do extra work when posting. I now watermark my screenshots that I upload in my photobucket account. And I think I'll have to make a Copyright page too. Sigh, why do people do this? It's so much easier to just provide a link to the source than to steal the entire content all together.
