Looking for insight / opinions on this.

I was searching for the SQLSat Utah information and came across this blog. I am uncertain if it is RSS'd or if they syndicated from SSC or what. It makes me wonder. Anybody have any thoughts on it?

I somehow don't think Kimberly agreed to be syndicated on an unknown site.

Um... <snigger>

http://www.sqlblogs.net/?cat=563

That is too funny. I doubt Aaron consented as well.

So at best, it seems that the site is questionable. I think the intent may be good, but pursued in the wrong way.

At least if you click on the title of each blog on that site, you will be taken to the original content.

Looks like they are grabbing the RSS from SSC. On the right side where they list contributors they list SSC and the other sites that they are getting content from. I think it's borderline because they never asked me if they could grab my stuff and other sites like SSC and SQLServerPedia ask first.

I don't believe it's borderline at all. I believe that it's outright copyright infringement because, to the best of my knowledge, they weren't given permission to republish a cotten pickin' thing from a copyrighted site. It's no better than the other site except that no one is actually claiming (by omission) that they wrote it .

I wouldn't say it's questionable. It's outright copyright infringement because they have not gotten permission to republish a bloody thing.

You're right. The more I think about it, the less I can conceive that it isn't copyright infringement.

I can see where folks would be upset by the site and I'm sure Adam won't be happy when he sees SQLBlog being syndicated there. Y'all are probably right and it is wrong because it IS using other people's content without permission. I just tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Probably the biggest problem is that it is sites like this are why people don't include their whole post in their feed.

I think I would be fine with it even now if they came back and asked permission. The problem is they are pulling the feed without permission from the SSC syndication. Maybe Steve can change the feed settings to exclude the entire post in the feed.

All the stolen content seems to have been removed.

There is some comment on the action taken on the home page http://www.sqlblogs.net/

I'm glad this was stomped on so quickly - but it amazed me that people still think this sort of thing is ok.

Personally, I don't give a fig about the guy's intention - he should have sought permission first, simple as.

Yes. He acted quickly on it. That was good. It was amazing how many people from whom content was copied.

Steve, I know you are taking a few days off, but when you get back you might want to check out this site: http://www.nexag.ch/fs_news.aspx?vPar1=50000200001

It seems to be taking the SSC blog feed and just displaying it.
