I know how you feel man.. My blog (and many others I've noticed) is constantly being ripped of content and hosted on other sites.
Wish there was some way to stop it. :shrug:

I'm sorry for you Daniel--stuff like that should never happen. I'm am starting to blog more about web design and development and I know that I would be very pissed if someone stole my content.
On another note, you are the first person other than myself that I have seen that has used the work "gank" in a long time! I like to use it but it seems to have lost popularity lately.

Cry more, you've spammed the same link twice on Digg, which I personally think is equally lame.

If it's quality content that's appreciated, sending MY OWN content to Digg a couple times a year is NOT spamming. Learn the difference.
I do think that's a bit sad, especially seeing as he slapped a load of adsense ads on his site and profited from YOUR content. You should demand that he give you the money, or face legal consequences.
I am not sure how much you make out of dugg articles, but I can imagine that it runs into the hundreds.

Look at it this way. Every time you post a youtube video that somebody else created on one of you're posts, you're "ganking" them. All's fair in love and war on the internet.

you will be happy now. the blogwriter deleted the whole post and put link to your site. i think he is innocent. so he suddenly apologized. so leave him free any more and delete this post. its not suitable for your site.

When you post content on Youtube, it is in the creative commons, ie. as long as you don't modify the embed code, you are allright. What that blogspot guy did was set up a blog, plagiarise content and didn't give the original author credit until he finished profiting from the content.

Rob,
I understand your point, but in terms of profit, if a person embeds a Youtube video in his own site riddled with Google ads, and has that page dugg rather than the original Youtube video, then one could hardly disagree that the person profited off somebody else's work.
Most people won't click through to the original page once they've seen the original content already.
I've seen this happen many times, including just the other day where rather than digging the original transcript of Ahmadinejad at Columbia, the person submitted his own blog, containing the transcript, with a link to the original. On his blog were, naturally, a whole mess of Google ads.
