Just read this article:

Google are stealing our content and reproducing it in an attempt to make money from the sponsored links alongside our content. They shouldn't be stealing it and should pay us for the privelege.

Not really, I think these people are idiots out to make a fast buck.

It's like owning a garden, with bees pollenating your flowers, then sueing The Honey Industry for profiting from the honey.

Google has guidelines.
They tell you that if you exist, they will come. They tell you what they will do when they come and also tell you how to stop them coming. If you want to be in results, you have to play by their rules. If you dont want to play by their rules, block em.

Mind you, if the AP get a ruling on this, I want some pie, and I bet there's many others who'll want a taste too.

Ridiculous
