so, it came to my attention that Busty-Reviews.com is copying my posts, along with sample photos (that I have a permission to post), from my blog, BoobsterNewsCenter.com ... they are than just replacing my codes with theirs, and that's it..

now, my question is - what can I do about this!?..

I already sent them an email, giving them 24 hours to remove all my posts before I contact the owners of those photos, and their hosting company.. but is there something more I can do about this?!

also, I found these other blogs that are just posting up my posts and images, but with my codes still there!?!?.. Im not really getting what are they gettin from that, and if I should do something about it!?..

thanks for your time and your help fellas!

You could file a DMCA on them. Here's a link to Googles guidelines. The images may not be yours but the text is.

Contact the content provider to see if there is anything they want to do about it.

Is he hotlinking your content? If so, do a search here or on google for hotlink protection.

The ones who are not removing your links are simply using your RSS feed. Personally I see nothing wrong with it and it should help your site in the serps. If your using WP, there is a plug-in for adding a copyright notice to your feeds. You may want to look into that.

hey people..

just wanted to let you know that they removed everything from the website few days after I noticed.. first they were trying to "explain" the situation, but once I contacted their host, and other websites started doing the same, they just had no choice I guess...

thanks for your help!

cheers,
