[RESOLVED] VBF Posts in MSDN
I was searching for my post's in google (Yeah that's how I search my posts in VBF :() I was directed to this site...
http://msdn.itags.org/microsoft-office-misc/27917/
For a moment I thought that it wasn't me (date on the post is 06 Dec 2007) but then I saw a post by westconn1 and then I knew that this is a vbf post...
This is something I do not understand. Can someone help me understand what has happened?
Edit: One more! This confirms that it is from vbf :D

Thanks for explaining :thumb:

The site is in China, so that makes it a lot harder to address these issues.
Is that actually true in today's era? Not even big companies like Microsoft can do anything about it? Now that's surprising...

Re: [RESOLVED] VBF Posts in MSDN
I've seen many sites and forums like that who steal data from vbforums and other sites. I really nver cared. But now since you have pointed out that it is a copyright issue, I'll keep a watch on the ones I stumble upon and report here.

This site seems to be doing the same: http://www.bigresource.com !!! :sick:
Re: [RESOLVED] VBF Posts in MSDN
No. I think what they are doing is perfectly legal. They index the resource for search and when someone wants to view, they redirect to original site (vbforums in this case).

I agree that the second is a little more on the legitimate side, but could start pushing it if they take too much content even at the excerpt level. Right now, they are not doing complete copying and they are linking back to the full copy. That is closer to "fair use".
Brad!
