Mike,

Glad to have you stop by. If more people took your interest in denying “link love” then spammers would have to find a new means of propagating their networks. Congrats on the kill.

Let me know if I can help in any way, I’m always here if I can assist!

I just followed the links back that I got as a result of Darren Rowse’s 31 day project – and it led straight back to a scrape of his post. I deleted that trackback from the comments. While I know it’s insignificant compared the total amount of “link love” this scum is getting from it, they’re not going to get it from me.

(I just hate this kind of unethical stuff on the internet)

Oh, and thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I’ve added your blog to my feeds. I have had an interest in copyright for quite a while for much the same reasons as you, except my issues were with copyright and online genealogy.

Jeremy,

Maybe we should have a competition and see how deep we can track one of these. The one I posted was three levels deep, you’ve had five. I wonder how low we can go…

That is pretty humorous when it happens. I had that problem a few times in the past with some articles I wrote for places like Article City. A splogger stole the article, then another one got it, and another one, etc. Got about 5 levels deep.
