Content theft

I think it's taking a couple of days for Technorati to pick up on this post and the inadvertent link, but someone has completely lifted a post from SA Rocks. To the point that they are using the photo which is hosted on the SA Rocks server.I am extremely grateful that Kidtivity enjoyed the post so much that they lifted it verbatim but I am somewhat upset at the blatant and shameless lifting of the content. It's not as if the post is 100% fresh and new, but at least sources were credited and references made to the appropriate sites. I have alerted the blog editor and will patiently await a response.The blog seems to be brand-spanking-new and has one post on it... not a very good way to start a new blog I might add; ripping off someone else's work. Is this really what some SA bloggers are doing? If so I am concerned. How many other posts have we all missed on blogs that slip under the radar?
