NOTE: A Copy of this post is being emailed to Cesar Bielich of Henderson, Nevada with my Cease and Desist demand. DearREADERS,
Once again we are faced with a "blog scraper" copyright infringement guy, i.e. someone who knowingly pulls in my DearMYRTLE blog content (among others), surrounding each post with advertizing that benefits him, rather than Ol' Myrt here.
WikiPedia.com defines this unethical practice as follows:
"Blog scraping is the process of scanning through a large number of blogs, usually through the use of automated software, searching for and copying content. The software and the individuals who run the software are sometimes referred to as blog scrapers.
Scraping is copying a blog, or blog content, that is not owned by the individual initiating the scraping process. If the material is copyrighted it is considered copyright infringement, unless there is a license relaxing the copyright. The scraped content is often used on spam blogs or splogs."
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_scraping
NOTE: The screen shot I took just a few minutes ago clearly shows the blog address is not DearMYRTLE.com, instead it is the scraping site Genealogicalblog.com.
NOTE: There are 5 advertizing spots taking up the majority of the real estate on this page. My actual content under my title "Got Scandinavian Roots? See MyHeritage's 90+ Million New Records Just for You" begins with "DearREADERS". Because of the excessive amount of adverting, the unauthorized use of my copyrighted material is relegated to less than 25% of the page.
In the screen shot of the bottom of each of DearMYRTLE Genealogy Blog post, we find the copyright statement as follows:
The recently identified DearMYRTLE Genealogy Blog posts originally posted at DearMYRTLE.com and unceremonously cross-posted (scraped) without my expressed written permission include but are not limited to the following:
