I’m no lawyer, but I think there’s a huge opportunity opportunity to build a class action lawsuit against Google. They encourage RSS feed theft by offering their AdWords program, then making it far to time consuming for any one blogger to push through the red tape of getting the splogger ejected from AdWords.
Splogs could end in mere days with a simple splog flagging system, but Google would loose millions.

Call Sellsius, let’s get it on…
Yeah, logic never seems to equal reality…

Wouldn’t solve anything. All that would mean is that fictional “gentle readers” would sign up and just cycle the feed away to the splogs instead of “megaspamXXXhot.com” signing up for the RSS feed.
Do people seriously click on Adwords at these splogs anyway? I had had Adwords on my orginial blog and no one clicked on them once. I don’t see how my butchered content suddenly turns into an Adwords goldmine for someone else.
The only time I manage to even come across them is when I’m fighting them.

Oh I keep hearing about RE bloggers “spending hours a week fighting stolen content”.
We’re tiny little blogs people. If it scales with blog size, people like Scoble, PostSecret, Techcrunch would have to spend hundreds of hours a week fighting it.
I’m not sure they do that.

Well, couldn’t I still then block the gentle reader from the list? It would just be a tool to remove the automation of the insta-scrape.

I spend about 5 minutes a day at most, but it is increasing furiously when I factor in we’ve only been live for about 47 days.

But thats the my point Benn. Unless you’re willing to check out every person that gets your RSS feed, anyone could be a sock puppet siphoning off the feed.
How would I know that a “Benn Rosales” was the real BR getting my feed? Or a “Hotgrl25” could just as easily be a 25 y/o party girl looking for a first home as a balant spammer.
I also suspect that if people reading the feed have to hand over personal information to a blogger to get the feed, then some readers won’t subscribe.

It happened to me again last week. someone taking my whole blog via feed for a splog. Took me all week to make it go away. Would have been nice to cut them off.

Athol, your point is valid, and the fluffy bunnies can scrape away.
