Copy scraping, or splogging, is illegal.

Copy scraping, or splogging, is illegal.
At least in the United States. But it doesn't matter whether you're doing this in Germany, or Turkey, or some tiny island in the middle of the Pacific. The fact is that if you're using someone else's original content and original imagery for your own purposes, whether monetary or pure spite or whatever, it exposes you for who you really are:
A fraud. A thief.
Unoriginal, uninspiring, uninteresting.

If you're reading this on a blog or feed whose name and owner is not Yummy Yarn by Mary Joy Gumayagay, then the words and images have been scraped from Mary Joy's original knitting blog.
You can't come up with your own content, so you have to use someone else's. I pity you, if this is the way you make money, with Google AdSense ads interspersed with my content. And, I might add, other bloggers'.
You must be one pathetic human being.

I guess you think you're getting the last laugh, don't you? Don't worry, call me lots of names, it just shows how uncivilized and crude you really are. You seek validation through others. You are insecure, you find joy in cheating, you find security in hiding. You are nothing, and you will always be nothing.

O dear, by the sounds of things it seems that someone copied some of your content? I hope not...I agree it's a very lame and uninspired thing to do. It's really not that difficult to come up with your own words, is it!
Very cruel post! I completely agree with you but a reader of this post can feel like criminalized even though he/she has never done anything like copying conten and so on...
Kate, it was intentionally cruel. There is a copy scraper out there using my content through my feeds to drive traffic to their website. This post was created in the hopes that it will be picked up and posted on the scraper's site. My little bit of spite.
Don't take it personally.
If you're not a copy scraper, this post doesn't apply to you.
