    You may not belive this but i'v found a website that steels ever new post and publishes it as it's own in a blog.

    http://www.everythingabout.org/money/


    Run some searchs and see how this guy automaticly copys ever new post into his blog.

    This is amazing i should get aworded :D

    That shows how powerful and authoritative the dp is!

    I checked it out. There isnt really anything on the site but headlines which seem to be taken from various forums.

    Example:

    Voucher Code Sites
    Forum: Website Promotion Posted By: cycloneuk Post Time: 10-05-08 at 11:03 AM

    When you click to go to the post page it doesnt have anything additional. No link to more info, nothing.

    I wonder what the copyright issues are with this, i mean who actually owns the copyrighted content is it the OP or is it DP. Do posts even have copyright attached to them?

    I think you're allowed to do this because it's just from the RSS feed. I remember reading something about it on DP awhile ago.

    I have seen a few forums and sites copying the content from DP or referring to a post of DP.
