Hey Fred
thanks for including a link to one of my posts – much appreciated. There’s also some great looking links here for posts that I’ve not seen – definitely be checking them out.
On a bad note, I got a ‘trackback’ today from a site that have just copied your post. I’ve tweeted the link to you so you can issue a DMCA.

Hey Paul,
Thanks for stopping by. I really enjoyed your article.
Also, thanks for the heads up about the scraper. I would go nuts issuing DMCA take down notices if I sent one every time someone scraped my posts. Do you do this? I would love to hear your experience.
As a little tip for anyone who hates getting these, add a link to your home page and an internal page to every article you write. That way you at least get a link from the scraper.
