RSS feeds are offered in many cases for users whom read via RSS readers. However it doesn't mean you can just plug the feed into your site and steal the content without permission.

jscott if the guy is hot linking your images, that's a easy enough fix.. Just make a image that says.. "this content stolen from "yourdomain.com" and make a htaccess entry to stop his hot linking.

Then report the site to blogspot.
thanks man, i'll figure something out

btw, fyi, it's not him taking my rss feeds, he's using my content ONLY, not give me any links to sponsors, or anything, usually if i give out rss feeds it helps me get free traffic as others use it

but this is not the case, he rips everything to benefit from my content, but gives me absolutely NOTHING in return
