		<description>Yeah, I got hit by that one, too.

I also got hit by some from the domain &#039;&lt;a href=&quot;http://to-catch-a-predator.org/dirk-blog/?p=331&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;to-catch-a-predator.org&lt;/a&gt;&#039; (nofollow&#039;d). Actually, there are multiple blogs under that domain name, and other domains on the same server which are also splogs. What&#039;s different about that one is that it&#039;s much more stealthy in how it steals content.

The cafeturk site is grabbing whole posts without modification.

The to-catch-a-predator.org blog(s) take content from multiple sources and use a Markov chain algorithm to mush their texts together into an almost-but-not-quite coherent amalagam. For more info, check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jwz.org/dadadodo/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dadadodo&lt;/a&gt;.

I filed a complaint about that site with Google Adsense (and also complained to the webhost), but I got back a request from Google asking me if I wanted to file a DMCA notice against them. I just don&#039;t have the time to muck with that right now. I was also going to file a complaint with Yahoo, since there were also Yahoo ads there, but Yahoo doesn&#039;t seem to have any easy way to do that like Google does. :-(</description>
