RSS thieves - How do I block them?
 

I have a gay blog site where a lot of people are using my rss feeds, changing the affiliate codes and posting it as their content...

Does wordpress have a way to blog people from doing this? I dont mind if people post rss feeds on their site as long as they keep all the content and codes the same...


This is an issue i have had for a while... I can not finding a solution... wondering if anyone else has this problem?


:mad:

No way I can think of to do this.

Hmmm thats scary..

The only way you could block them is to block them by IP... you could also try using jump pages for your links, which could fuck them up a bit.

Also, sorry, add this: If you wrote the posts yourself, you should send a DMCA notice to them, to their hosts, and such. It is a copyright violation.

Make your feed a summary only, with automatic headers and footers on each post. It could help.

I don't think there is a way to stop them because worst case they take your content and put it in Frontpage or some web design application software. They would then replace your affiliate code and replace it with theirs followed by uploading the new version to their server.
Unless you can stop someone from coping the content from your webpage there is no way to stop someone from stealing your content.
Very unethical of them but no way to stop them that I know of.
