To try to get around the issue of copyright infringement, over the weekend, bitacle added “Articles are copyrighted by their respective authors†to their templates. Sorry, folks, this doesn’t work.
You put ads on full post contents with copyrights that clearly state “no commercial use, you are violating the copyright. White washing it with a copyright statement that they may think acts like a “hold harmless claim†only proves how stupid they are. Both the statement and the usage of the content violates copyrights, so who is fooling who. Don’t let it fool you.

Unfortunately scammers and spammers are like the Hydra – cut off one head and it’s replaced by two new ones. However, it’s important that these sleazes know that people are aware of them. With luck, Google will de-index them.
