How do you know when your website has made it to the big time?  well, one sign is that you make enough money on a regular basis for us all to quit our day jobs.  And some of you astute readers may notice that I am writing this at 11:00 at night…after spending all day at my day job.

The other sign that a site is getting big is that you start to get ripped off.  And here, I am talking about blog scraping.  What is scraping?  Well, here is how Wikipedia describes it:

Blog scraping is the process of scanning through a large number of blogs, usually daily, searching for and copying content. This process is conducted through automated software. The software and the individuals who run the software are sometimes referred to as blog scrapers.

Scraping is copying a blog that is not owned by the individual initiating the scraping process. If the material is copyrighted it is consideredcopyright infringement, unless there is a license relaxing the copyright. The scraped content is often used on spam blogs or splogs.

Lately, I have noticed at least one site in particular (which I will not name or link for obvious reasons) consistently reposting content from JAMM, in other words, scraping out content.  So, I wanted to take a minute to address that site directly, from here on JAMM.

All of the content on Just Another Mobile Monday is copyrighted, and remains the exclusive property of JAMM and its staff.  If you are reading this post anywhere other than Just Another Mobile Monday, then you are reading a post which was stolen from our site, and reposted without the express or implied consent of Just Another Mobile Monday, it editors, authors, or team members.  This is a direct infringement upon our copyright, and a blatant violation of the copyright laws of the United States, where JAMM is published.

What really bothers me here is that I know how hard our team works.  We give up time with our families, free time in front of the TV, and any other of myriad of activities in order to put this site together and bring you the consistently high quality which you have come to expect.  So, it really irks me to see someone put in absolutely no effort in order to benefit from the hard work of this team.

If you are reading this post on any site, other than www.justanothermobilemonday.com, then we implore you to accept nothing but the original  Hit the link to go back to JAMM and enjoy the best our team of dedicated writers has to offer about mobile technology.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled postings.
