    Wow, I'd bet people bait people into taking their content all the time and pull something like this.

    I have REAL whois... because I'm 100% legal! (except if you touch me in bad places but that's another issues xD)

    anyways, congrats to you... just a question. how much did you pay in legal fees?

    Nice, it is always good to hear when the bad guys get caught. Are time stamps really set in stone. I mean will they really hold up in court? Because like someone said before, can't you just change your computer time and then the time stamp will change accordingly?

    think there are many sites that give away there articles. ezine is one of them, i think. the only requirement is that you put the article as is with their name and website. The safest bet I think is to send them an email to let them know and if they dont like it being posted then delete it. cheers

    the best thing to do is to email it to yourself or mail it to yourself. that is a form of a legal timestamp.
