I spent some time the other night reading all your posts and found it very interesting and inspiring. With a blog you have three choices: 1. Don't publish a feed so that it won't be reposted elsewhere. I don't like that because I know how convenient RSS is. Even if you don't publish a feed they can still scrape the content directly from your site. 2. Publish a partial feed with exerpts. The problem with this is that the subscribers to your feed have to click through to read the whole thing which kind of defeats the purpose. 3. Publish the full content in your feed, knowing what can happen. That's what I'll do until I can't stand it any more. The copright solution is just a small way to protect myself. Now, I'm not saying I'm writing any groundbreaking stuff, especially in my posts, since it is an audio thing I'm focusing on, but it is something I spend time on and I understand your frustration. I wish I could just shrug my shoulders and not care, but I do. OOOhhhhhmm. Chant with me. OOOhhhhmmm... Jenny – I love your site too.

This situation makes me really ill. I used to have one of only two biographical sites on the entire web devoted to a famous, if slightly pop-cultish figure: Ernie Kovacs. Once in a while(the site was up for about 6 years until I took it down to revamp 18 mos ago)I'd do a Google search to see if anyone else had started a Kovacs site or had anything good up to look at; well, on several occasions <b>my</b> writing. MY essays(which I was damned proud of, if I say so myself)were appropriated without any credit at all--that is, STOLEN: once by two radio hosts in Seattle, once by--get this--a Columbia University grad student as a media "project" on Kovacs! <i>Word for word</i>, with my images that I'd collected and scanned myself. Thanks a LOT. The thing is, now with my new blog I'm not sure how to "copyright" the images & text. I am totally clueless about even <i>doing</i> RSS feeds or how to globally attatch watermarks, etc...anyway, I'd better figure it out fast. I hate plagarism, and while I believe that 80% of the time people don't mean any harm and simply don't understand the concept of "no grab!", it's still a gigantic no-no and has to be stopped. I'm sorry for the aggravation--you do a fantastic site--please do keep it up. You’re kidding…actually, I know you’re not. This situation makes me really ill.
