    Hi, my RSS feed is being used to display my articles on another site. After looking up the registrar, I have found the site to be Bulgarian.

    My post is in my feed reader.

    Here is the scraped post. As you can see, my copyright is still inserted.

    energy.tenbg.com/2008/07/drilling-mounting-rv-solar-panel-installation/

    I'd like the unauthorized content removed.

    Does Bulgarian law respect my copyright? Is it worth it to complain to the host?

    Can anyone tell me their experiences relating to this in Bulgaria?

    Depends really, If it has your copyright on it, and you can contact the host then it will not hurt to try, At worst all they will do is ignore you. But as this has your copyright on it, Then its worth a shot.

    Failing that, you could contact the " owner " of that site, and see if he would perhaps remove it, or you could come to some kind of deal perhaps?

    Failing the two above, I would not take it any further. It's hardly worth taking it to court or anything like that.

    Any reason your RSS feed contains your WHOLE article, and not just a summary?

    yea, you are just supposed to give the reader a taste, and make them want to read the rest, thus having to click on the link and go to your site.

    the whole point behind having RSS feeds ;)

    just change your feeds slightly and harvest the potential traffic from that and other sources.

    lol

    Ok, while we're here, can anyone tell me how I can do that without changing the feed URL?
