That doesn't matter that he has link-backs to my posts. He does not have permission to do so and is benefiting his own growth from my own work. Think about it, he devalued the alt text on my own post by copying my alt text then linking to me. Not entirely dropped off the face of the earth devalued, but devalued still. The person is most likely building these up to get the rankings then monetize at a later date.

It would be the same as standing in front of a store with an item shoplifted from the store and giving it away to the first customer walking towards the doors using the same sales techniques employed inside the store and fronting to be an employee. Basically. It's still theft and misrepresentation. If he put up a banner or link to the paysite and used his own text, I wouldn't care. I'd welcome it as it would be mutually beneficial. Which is another reason I'd like to speak with the individual for future occurrences. Might as well try and make a mutually beneficial deal instead of just DCMA'ing his ass continuously to do damage control.
