Blog Content Stolen

UPDATE (11-19-2007): Since I posted this, itsyourrecipe.com has taken out all of the curse words from their posts that are posts from other people's recipe blogs. I haven't heard from them, and they removed my comments from the post that contained my content. So, they may not have known that the word replacement plugin was running on their site? I don't know how all of that works, but I really appreciate them cleaning up the content they took from my blog and others' blogs. They've got some really good recipes there that now make sense.

I went to Technorati to look at some blogs I have saved there and to see what was up with my blogs. I noticed that there were two blog reactions to this recipe blog that looked odd. I clicked on them, and it took me to a website called itsyourrecipe.com. It had a link back to my original post. I guess they think that makes it legal?

It had my exact blog entry posted on this blog (along with my photos), but they have used the word replacement plugin for WordPress to replace words in my post with curse words. Nice, I know. If you go to the the link above, the fellow who created the plugin is very proud of the fact that you can do that and suggests that it is more fun if you use it for that, but I don't think he intended it to be used on stolen, copyrighted material.

I don't want to judge these people. I don't know where they are in life or what they have been through or why they think a small and limited vocabulary is so funny ... but I understand that people find different things funny. I really do and can appreciate that uniqueness. I just do not want my material used in this way. I posted on my content that was used and asked them nicely and respectfully not use use my posts like that anymore. They must have some program that steals the post immediately, because I had just posted right before I went to Technorati and that post was already there all "doctored up" with foul language.

I also wanted to let you know that this person has a BUNCH of recipes on his or her blog ... all of which have curse words in them. So, you may want to go there and check to see if any of your content is there.

Does anyone know if there is anything you can do about it? Of course, there was no information about the person on their blog. Just wanted to give you a warning that your recipe posts may have been stolen, also.
