Now I'm pissed. And I don't recommend pissing off a librarian with a cold-that's-now-a-fever-too with some ridiculous, blatant copyright infringement. A site called "danno recommends" (I refuse to even link to it since I'd then be driving traffic to that moron) has stolen my post word-for-word and is posting it under his byline. No mention of my site at all. Not cool. If anyone knows Danno, tell him what I think about him and that if he doesn't stop, I will find him and I will stop him myself. I might be small, but don't mess with my FF content. Plus this comes on the heels of my buddies at FFGeekBlog having the same problem of a site ripping off their content.
Many thanks to my fine friends at Lester's Legends for alerting me to the stolen content. Let's all do Lester a favor and swing by his site as a sign of gratitude. Lots of good stuff there like the Rotoprofessor's Week 4 Sleepers and other gems.

You are SO LAME!!!
Now, don't get your pink panties in a twist, just stop stealing other people's work!!!
It's like stealing from Santa - it's not right dammit!
The site also says:
"Splogs effectively steal a portion of your blog’s search engine ranking, traffic and ad revenue."
I've seen content from my blog posted on various splogs as well. You're right, it's not cool. But unfortunately, I'm not sure there's much that can be done about it. :-(
I was working off old info (from the last time I research this topic).
It is very helpful at least for someone who wants to do a little homework.
I have been reading it very often in the past few days to stay ahead.Well done.

Is it just me? Really? Really?
Anybody?
A lot of fantasy sites provide feeds from other fantasy sources...Problem is Danno is putting them as posts..."by Danno" and it doesn't appear that his goal is to feed people fantasy football info but to feed his wallet by clicks on those Google ads that are surrounding the headlines.
I don't know if they still do it (since being Googleized) but Feedburner used to have a thing you could do to report if you think your feed is being used inappropriately.
Props to Lester's Legends...also a great site; especially nostalgia for baseball the way it used to be.
