Broken Controllers They took my blog post and put it on their site linking the two, without my consent. Internet
Today while checking the stats on my blog I noticed there was a link that I did not recognized in the "referred to your post" column. I clicked on the link and it took me to the Broken Controllers website and they had my entire blog post on their site. It looks as thought they had posted it themselved, if I didn't know otherwise I wouldn't know the difference.
I did some searches to find out who these people are and why they do this. It seems that trawl for blog posts to post on their page so that they can attain more google search hits. They also have various links on their page that has been said to contain trojans or other spyware. I immediately send an email to the owner asking that they remove any and all contact related to my blog and told them did not have permission to post any of my content. I asked that they do not use any of my content in the future either. They still have not taken it down. i did read that this has happend to several other bloggers. It is so upsetting, I feel viotlated.

You have my permission to post one of my favorite songs that I composed at your website. It was posted at Ripoff Report on July 5, 2011. The song is entitled "BROCKOMIAN RHAPSODY" and can be sung to the tune of a very well known song by the British band, Queen.

I certainly know how you feel. Someone took my poem that was posted here at Ripoff Report on August 23, 2007 and posted it at another website without my consent. You can type in 269840 at this site and go to Ripoff Report #269840 in order to see that the poem was originally posted at Ripoff Report on August 23, 2007.
Now 'Google' this- SLUDGE POEM, and click on the 'bobistheoilguy' website and you will plainly see that it was posted there on January 25, 2010 at 12:06 AM.
Good luck to you, and make sure to spread your Ripoff Report all over the web at sites like Twitter and Facebook!
