I'd never really had a problem with Mahalo showing up in my results, until yesterday. I Googled my name, and found they were scraping my content and hosting it under a page with my name as the title and url. Yuck.


So far they're ignoring me. I guess I'll know I've "made it" when scum-sucking web parasites start feeding off my internet blood.


For a long time, everything I wrote would get re-blogged by dozens of spammy blogs all across the internet, occasionally with the odd misspelling thrown in to simulate original content.

My solution was to become less interesting.



That's what I thought when someone started scraping my feed. It didn't make me feel any better in the long run though. And the bigger problem is that even if you send them a DMCA notice they just take it down and then set it up again on a different domain. They are in it for the quick profit, not the long haul.


Does that I've made it? http://www.mahalo.com/cornify


Send them a DMCA request for copyright violation?


I'm waiting to see if Google will do anything with the report.
