Apparently all my posts since the start of this Blog, up until this year have been stolen by an Indonesian thief, who has done the same to a number of English language blogger sites. This person has probably done so to try and generate traffic to their own crappy little web pages, in order to make money from Google's AdSense. I wouldn't mind so much, but they have stripped all reference to my Blog site from the content, and are therefore passing the content off as their own, kinda (as if anyone really would be taken in when it refers to the West, and not Asia).
Of course the irony is that this blog can hardly be described as a friend of Islam, so my Indonesian friend may be risking a visit from the Mullah and his mates, if they ever read some of the posts he claims are his ......
We all plagiarise to some extent on the web .... but most of us don't copy sites verbatim or steal others images and bandwidth ..... but there are totally unscrupulous people out there who think other peoples work is fair game. There is apparently nothing that I can do about it, Google are not interested in this kind of theft, although ultimately it must be in Google's interest to encourage unique content, in order to maximise their own revenue from advertisers and discourage theft.
So from now on all my posts will carry back links to No PC Views within them either at the bottom, and or within the text ...... and I have also turned off and disabled the RSS feeds to hopefully stop further scraping. Its a pity, but we all have a duty to fight back.
