A coworker had his website copied, word for word, and images hotlinked, without permission
Sometimes I can't believe the things people do sometimes.
Look at the website here (my coworker's site)
Look at the website here (notice how the content and screenshots look alike?)
As of today, 08-13-2007, they are practically identical, if not word for word in most entries. Not only that, the second site is hotlinking the graphics directly from the original site.
Unbelievable.

I've had this happen to my blog before, but those were all just automated spamblogs that republished the posts that were in my feed at that time.
But this was definitively done by a human - why would anyone do this?

ripping off a site is such a cheap trick!
My brother had his company website literally copied word for word, including "branded" screenshot and it took ages to have the "clone" taken down.
Anyways, "Just another MVP!" ... this guys not in the Microsoft MVP directory and his site is no longer available
