Also, Web sites playing with user agent functionality this way, disabling other functions too, annoy me, IOW I leave and will never return. As for linking, it's important to add rel="nofollow" to links pointing to scrapers and content thieves, and this makes the anchor text somewhat useless, because the search engines don't count it.

I read your content quite a bit. This article really sparked my interest because I have two known people who steal my content all the time. Its very aggrivating, especially when you spend YOUR TIME researching content and writing it. I have found that adding a "no right click" function can stop most spammers. Here's a simple copy and past code that goes right into your template: <a href="http://www.hypergurl.com/norightclick.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hypergurl.com/norightclick.html</a> You'll still have to deal with those people who read your article then rewrite it because they're to fucking stupid to write their own stuff, but it's a start at least. Tori PS - Continue to out these people!!!!! Also, a note to people who plan to "out" spammers or content stealers - PLEASE dont' link to them in your article, unless you are linking with the anchor text of "spam" or "content stealer", etc. If you link right to their site you can raise their page rank, depending on your sites PR. Great work, little red crab! You rock! Hi! I read your content quite a bit. This article really sparked my interest because I have two known people who steal my content all the time.
