Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter Plugin

This post is dedicated to one very useful plugin viz. Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter Plugin.

Today I found a post on my blog appear at a feed-stealers site.

But, thanks to the plugin (which I had installed not expecting it’s use) the idiot’s site now has a blaring copyright violation message posted on it.

I really recommend you start using this plugin. It won’t stop an aggregator site but atleast it will make him/her think twice before aggregating your feeds.

As for now the site has been added to my block list in Spam Karma 2 and in cPanel.

    Check this;

    I think you should give the scammer a call.

    I have reported this to the Techincal Contact of the domain which was listed as EV1 Servers. Their site seems genuine however both the above site as well as the one it points its nameservers to seem like hoaxes.

    I think the reason why the feed was pulled from your site was the word “credit card” in your post. Seems like the chap is pulling aything remotely connected to plastic money

    I guess you are correct Elroy.

    I’ve just done a search and replace and changed credit card across all my posts to card

    That wouldn’t help with this post. He has already aggreated. Give him a polite call if you are in US. Otherwise send him an email. I believe I included both – email and phone of the perpetrator.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Unfortunately I am not in the US. But I already dashed off the email to him and the Technical Contact.

    EV1 didn’t even understand and said that the site is not on their servers. Guess the scammer’s details are a hoax!

    How about giving him a collect call :)
    Call 000127, wait for the operator and ask to call collect to his number. See if he accepts.
    It will not cost you. The cost is on him.
