We were rolling through our online search this afternoon when we ran across a headline that looked awfully familiar on Boardsport Source, a European action sports business site. The headline said, More Fake Vans Seized. It was familiar because it was a story we ran a couple days ago titled More Fake Vans Seized In Manila.
Someone at Boardsport Source lifted the headline and the entire story from our site and posted it on theirs without even a link, a mention, or an attribution to our site or the website that originally posted the news story. Guess Boardsport Source doesn’t really understand the world of blogging. Hopefully, this will help them out: In blogging it it totally cool to quote a story, and attribute that content with links back to the original poster, but nothing is shadier that ripping off content with no links back.
