Seems to me that BadBehaviour was the culprit. Switched it off and my logins “stay”.

@greentruth: Sorry – but some of your arguments are rubbish.

RSS-Feeds are as copyrighted as any content and NOT automatically part of the public domain. RSS is just a technical mechanism – not a legal indication that you give up all your rights as a creator.

Plus when a company uses MY CONTENT to promote THEIR PRODUCT it sucks and has nothing to do with the spirit of sharing. AutoBloggerPro has many feature to override webmasters / bloggers mechanisms to protect their content, like grabbing pictures even when hotlinking and other security measures are in place. So this is a software made for stealing and to create linkfarms for SEO.

No more, no less.

So don’t try us to sell us this pirating device as a NICE TOOL to increase anyones traffic. So far I have hardly reveiced more then 5 referers visitors from the stealing website.

Plus: the blog has no contact information, no way to reach the blogmaster – and all my mails are still unanswered. This is simply not a decent way to run a blog, steal content and sell your own software with it.

Thanks moka for the legal advice.

I am just wondering if it isn’t a bit more complicated, since I am located the the registrar of the domain is located in the UK. Let see IF the reply to my emails – and take down all entries. If not – I’ll use the next bigger gun and take legal action.

vkaryl: my mistake – didn’t see it on the first check. ??

Guess I am still very pissed off about this. ??

Thanks vkaryl.

Actually copyscape doesn’t show dontclick.com as a content copier.

But I will certainly make several nice postings about my blog parasite. Let’s see if it works. ??

Excerpts won’t work so nicely – since I am mostly blogging images. I’ll try the plugin with the copyright first – but I wonder how fast they will simply filter out the copyright line?

LesBessant: Thank you soooo much for that link. Sometimes I am really wondering if blogging is more like a war of technology about content creators and ‘evil’ people trying to ripp them off. Spammers, RSS stealers, SEO link farms …

Gee!

Thanks skippy.

I already sent several emails out to see if I get someone to stop this.

This stealing software is very sophisticated:

Image Downloader: Sometimes a feed that displays images within an article has hotlink protection on. For this reason we have created the image downloader the image will download each existing image in an article to a local directory.

Relinker: One of the most useful features within Autoblogger Pro. The Relinking system will replace any word/phrase with a link you specify. This is useful to target certain keywords to affiliate links, product sales, other sites etc. This is all done dynamically so links can be changed any time site wide in seconds. Any number of words/phrases can be linked. It’s very possible to monetize this system. Aside from the obvious linking to affiliate programs, or sites, once traffic builds up, you could also sell words.

So I guess .htaccess won’t make much sense here – they simply get around it – especially when it is a larger network of sites or bots.

Bastards.

Thanks!

Excellent news! Time to save some bucks to donate when it is finally released. Thanks to the WP2.0 team!!!

Hmmm. Mod_rewrite is running. Even checked if Symlinks ar allowed – yep:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Still no permalinks. Very weird.

??

Yep. I just kille permalinks, deleted the htaccess and recreated it – same ol’ problem.

macmanx – thanks for the quick reply.

Hmm. Can’ remember ever switching it off / uninstalling it. Any way to check if it is working / installed?

Thanks again.

Aloha podz.

Actually yes I did. No reply so far.
Thanks for yours.

Hugo – send me your Amazon-Whishlist – I’like to thank you with a little gift.
