Less than half an hour after I posted this item earlier today, I found that it was already scraped and republished in a splog. To prevent this in the future, I’ve installed the ©Feed plugin, which adds a copyright notice to each item in my RSS feeds that will appear in any scraped content saying that it was stolen.
However, it doesn't stop the post from being scraped. I am having all of my posts reposted in minutes at news.newbuzz.info, which is where I found your post too 🙁
