Was I Wrong to Reject this Site for Stolen Content?

[phrac]

hello everyone,
yes, that was my site (http://www.post-a-babe.com) that you guys are discussing.

I started the site for my own personal use to see how to build a fully indexed, searchable database using postgresql and images from usenet. After figuring out how to do it and writing several scripts in perl and php, I started to see dollar signs, instead of thinking with my head. I should have known better than to think I could get away with something like that. I did manage to write some nice scripts.

Anyway, the site was just made public less than a week ago, and until today I have not seen much traffic. I read the rejection notice that the admin from www.bluewavelinks.com sent me and realized I probably shouldn't be doing this, so I pulled the site immediately. I am working on some new ideas (legal ones this time ).

Thanks to all that responded, I appreciate the input.

And to Useless warrior:

I would have rejected him twice. Once for using stolen content. Once for being an asshole

.

I don't know when i was being an asshole, so thanks for that comment, it was quite insightful!

Thanks to everyone else that *was* helpful.
