One way is by using plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-feed-copyright/ as well as setting feeds to show excerpts not full article. While wp-o-matic is free and up to 2.6 only, there are other premium plugins which sploggers use that are just plain irritating.

I really hate the idea of going back to partial feeds, but I also hate chasing these guys down.
I suppose I could give it a try and see how it effects things on my blog.
Thanks for the plugin suggestion. I’m not sure it would stop anyone from the stealing, but at least I’d get a link back. Hmmm.
Also check out a very recent post I just read about stopping scrappers/spammers for extra measure 🙂

I say whatever works 🙂
