As I mentioned yesterday Tygpress is harvesting our writing and pictures and posting them (without our permission) on their site. Fandango has come up with a graphic to use to let those reading know that it was not an approved posting. He said everyone is free to include it with their blog.
I am not sure if it will have any effect on our posts being harvested or not, but it is a way to try to protect our work.
Interesting… I just tried to get into their site and got this response: “Tygpress.com is temporarily out of service due to technical issues. will be back soon…”
Maybe we got the point across that it is not their content to share.
And now it’s been updated again It looks like the complaints worked!
“Tygpress.com is temporarily out of service due to technical issues. will be back soon…
Tygpress.com was created with an intention to create a blog search site , but due to some techical issues, full contents of respective sites were being displayed instead of just excerpts as intended. We thank the complainants for bringing this issue to our notice and We are extremely sorry to the content owners.”
Victory!
Makes me sick
I guess everyone’s complaints were heard… they are temporarily shut down.
