New Thief

Post by CieleEdward »

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but articlesio.com is stealing articles from CC – and it isn't just business and finance this time. Looks like they're after everything. Here's the email address of the site owner if you find something of yours.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Those categories look eerily familiar.

I didn't find any of mine on there, but did recognize a few titles. I wonder if my little disclaimer at the bottom of all my content excerpts kept them from copy/pasting? I certainly hope so.

Thanks for letting us know about this. There aren't any ads here... Why is this person scraping content? I don't get it.

They had one of mine on there. It has been taken from the long summary here, because it only publishes the bit I had in the long summary. It even has bullet points 1, 2, 3, 5, missing section 4, because that was what I took out from the long summary here. I have emailed the site owner and Support at CC about it.

Thanks for letting me know!

Looks like we weren't the only ones who complained. The website is gone now. That was much quicker than last time.
