Great. My Site is Being Hijacked by a Sci-Fi Spam Site.

WARNING TO YOU SCI-FI BLOGGERS OUT THERE: YOUR WORK MAY BE GETTING STOLEN!
I shudder to give this site more traffic, but I was shocked to find out that this “blog” has basically gone out and republished stories from other sci-fi blogs (including my own) without permission. (Please, if you go there to check it out, DO NOT CLICK ON THEIR ADS!!!)
The Pod Bay Doors <===== EVIL COPYRIGHT VIOLATORS!

Now let’s see if they are stupid enough to reprint this article using their bot. Meanwhile, I will have to track down their ISP and get them shut down for DMCA violation.
Geez. If they had just asked me and offered to give me free advertising in exchange for mirroring my content, I might have given them permission. I could use more traffic. The fact that they didn’t bother to ask is just plain stupid if you ask me. What is wrong with people?

Yeah, and funnier, after this was posted there for about a day, they clued in and removed my feed and all my posts before I even had a chance to complain. Still, they are busy hijacking the SCI FI WIRE and many other blogs, so it’s a good idea to check and see if yours is up there.
