If you are a blog owner and dont want your shit ripped and changed then its your responsibility to add a layer of protection like making people sign up to get your feeds. People steal content all the time protected or not and it';s not ABP's job to protect your content for you. It's like blaming a gun store for someone using a gun in the wrong way.. Not their responsibility IMHO..  |
The "stealth mode" feature changes things, though. That feature is seemingly intended solely for all the wrong purposes: continuing to use (in one way or another) content which you have been explicitly told not to use. That makes it more like a hitbot than a gun.
Btw, your idea that webmasters are responsible for not getting ripped off is ridiculous. With that kind of reasoning, you can justify the stealing of designs, content, everything. When something is intended for the public, it's always easy to steal. The point is that stealing is illegal and immoral.
