NEWSALARMONLINE.COM is Stealing Content From Other Sites

Since NEWSALARMONLINE.COM has decided to steal my posts word-for-word without attribution I've decided to post this so it will show up on their site. I've already reported them to their website registration company and hosting company. We'll see how long they last.

Consequently, I'm going to change my feed settings so it won't show the entire post on things like Google Reader. I'm sure the feed is what they're using. My apologies to those who read this site through other readers, but hopefully this can change back again in the future.

UPDATE: I noticed that the headline for this post showed up at NEWSALARMONLINE.COM but not the content of the post. Hopefully whoever runs that pirate site got the message.

I wondered what had happened! Most of the time, I open the post, but some days, I just don't have time. I mean, I'm a busy person! Why, just this week, I had my nails done, a perm, book review at the library (I didn't do it, just listened...boring), and today is my day to volunteer at the school. My oh my, when do I have time to clean my house?

I am so worried...I read your posts on my monitor screen. I hope this is not viewed as piracy with a large fist bashed through my screen!

The piracy you mention is rampant online, and even worse in email. Perhaps some education is needed for the consumers as to appropriate annotation.

Sadly, I unsubscribed from HolyCoast this morning. Headlines are useless to me. I use Google Reader to view a number of blogs. This works especially well when I'm not on my computer but on my iPod touch. I like it because I can easily see just the unread items. Oh well...
