Thank you Pippa. I had already seen that post and I left a comment on Kate’s blog requesting that she contact me. I was unable to find any site scraping software. I checked the source code too. I do know that he is direct linking to one of my images, which I’ve replaced with a nice little treat for him. He must be using something as he has my post "Ezinearticles Author Pankaj Saini uses Missing Children Website to promote Teen Porn" right on his website. Rose DesRochers

Rose, kate (http://foritisi.blogspot.com) left this on my post about the paedophile guy. She gave me her permission to forward it 2 u.

Kate says: “Ooh, it makes you shudder doesn;t it. How creepy. People like that are definitely the downside of the net.

Rose, I didn’t go to the site, but looking at the extract Chris posted, I think the content is being stolen using site scraping software. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you should see a link to the company that provide it. I had the same thing happen to posts of mine, but thankfully, they weren’t being used in this context. However, I complained to the makers, nothing was done, but due to the subject matter it might be worth you sending off a complaint. They may not mind their product being used for spam, but this kind of pron is a different matter.

If they remove his license to use the product, it takes away the tool he is using to steal your content in the first place”

Hope this helps.

I couldn’t have said it better and I totally agree. I think too many parents want the site owners to be the guardians and the watchdogs when in reality it may be the responsible thing to do but it is ultimately a choice not a responsibility. The responsibility falls on the parents. Just the other day I was chatting with an old HS friend who mentioned his 16 yr old and 14 yr old are both on MySpace. I suggested that if they were he should be too for the sake of monitoring them. His response, “Oh they are good kids”. I have no doubt they are but my response to him was “Do you remember being a teenager?”. Of course he does but he didn’t seem phased. Instead he pooh poohed me with a syrupy sweet “you’re such a good mommy”. UGH! When will we all learn?
