Yet another asshole splogger

Go check out RedButtonReviews - this asshole may be stealing your content. But I’m not nearly so upset this time, because look at the hilarity:

I installed the ©Feed plugin recently and changed my feed to excerpt only. Therefore he only got an excerpt and he got a clear copyright infringement notice, and a digital fingerprint I can search for via search engines to find my stolen content (this search function is built into the program, making it even easier for you). And he linked to me like crazy because the plugin sticks related posts in your feed, even on the excerpt version.

This turd has no contact page – surprise! – so I put my cease and desist into a comment. I mean, give me a break, he’s even scraped my copyright notice. How oblivious can you be?

I’m off to notify Google and get his pages removed. — Oh, no, wait. None of his pages that scraped MY articles are actually in Google. What a loser.
