  • well, you can do a one thing right off the bat. Theyre hotlinking to your images, so you can certainly stop that by implementing hotlink protection on your images.

    There’s nothing to keep someone from copying content off the web and putting it up elsewhere. There are stopgaps, and things that help to let you know after the fact, that its been done, but nothing to stop it outright.

    You can try to contact multiply.com and wage a complaint with them to at least have whats there removed. I think theyre a smidge like myspace though, so dont expect immediate results.

    Thanks whoami whoever you are! I blocked hotlinking from that domain and now instantly all the images have been removed. Great thanks!

    I’ll look at my other options for getting the content removed next.

    Wow I continue finding sploggers.

    Does anyone know an easy way to quickly and automatically watermark images? That would be at least a little deterrent.

    Time to add theunisklink to my hotlink block.

    Wow, this guy isn’t even hotlinking…

    Scrapers are the plague of Blogging.

    There was one plugin I had awhile back that allowed you to add the IP and Host Name to it and if the scraper tried again, they would get a personal message in their post (Mine was nasty for them) but the recent upgrades made it obsolete.

    It was actually a pain in the ass adding the IP’s and Host Names all the time too though.
