Over the years I have noticed an annoying trend in using this blog wholesale as part of other sites and blogs. There is probably a name for this - syndication? - however this would suggest my consent but as I haven't been asked or given it its just plain old piracy. I'm not even sure if these sites are real and not just run by robot programmes trawling the net for content.
The first site where this happened was Planet Die-Cast.
The latest site where I have found one of my own articles is the Aquarius Project, whilst browsing for a UFO fact. There is no mention of my name as the author. The whole site looks quite bizarre and sort of pretend.
Have you any experience of this outright duplication of blogged articles readers?
