A word to scrapers

Please stop stealing my feed. My traffic is minimal, at best. My influence? Nonexistent. Stealing my content will not make you rich.

Sigh. I switched back over to a partial feed. (Oh I know. Boo! Hiss! Bad, bad blogger.) Right now it's my only solution until I find something I can insert into the footer along the lines of this plug-in, but for Blogger. I've tried FeedFlare (on Five Dollar Radio, mind you, the blog I care less about if I mess up my code), but I can't get "Stop! Thief!" or whatever it's supposed to say in the feed footer to show in my reader. If you have any better ideas, I'm listening.

How did you find out you were getting "scraped?"

I've searched on my blog post titles and such and found some places, but as long as the click-through would go to my site, I didn't complain. Some, though, re-framed the post to make it seem like it was their original content.

Made me see red, I tell you!

I don't really understand why they'd think anyone wants to read it, but still...if one of my posts ends up on a T-shirt, then I'll completely lose it!
