Damn Tour Text Thieves - GoFuckYourself.com

Its amazing how popular our tour text is. Every couple of months I enter snippits of it into Google, Inktomi, Altavista and find dozens of people who've ripped it off. Most of the time it appears to be a small time amateur, but in a couple of cases its been on sites belonging to medium sized sponsors. The people I contact are usually pretty good about removing it, but it still pisses me off to have to spend an afternoon doing this.

I know what you mean - I use the words "free" and "join" on my side, and now I see them all over the place

its all "public domain"

I'm only talking about large blocks of text (ie multiple sentences).

Shit! Those are all over our pages. Maybe we can work out some sort of licensing scheme...
