[...] Marlow provides a list of entertaining stories about hijacks (along with some good-natured teasing about the high PubSub ranking or her PI blog!)… [...]

Marlow, I remember that happening and reading about it in the AA forums. It was quite commical and what a way to get back at someone for stealing images

Just a note to say I really like your blog, and you’re doing a great job. I’ve also been using Seeking Alpha’s write ups of the housing market, and thought you might also find them useful.
Worth looking at the housing section of Seeking Alpha, the largest web site providing stock market opinion and analysis from blogs, money managers and investment newsletters. Seeking Alpha covers the homebuilder stocks, but there’s also a lot of commentary on the overall housing market from a Wall Street perspective.

Well, what did you do to get them to remove your content from their site? Or is it still there? I’d love to hear your story…

Putting a copyright notice on a site serves little in the prevention of thieves stealing content. I know. My site has been copied over and over again, by thieves who love to “blame it on the webmaster.” DUH! In real estate we know about vicarious liability. If you hire a webdesigner and he copies my work (or the work of others), you are responsible. So be safe and investigate the work, if it’s copied don’t use it. Registered work carries with it protection. The statutory damages are huge, more than many REALTORS make in a year.
Copyright infringement is a serious mistake.

Or better yet, it should have said something like, “GET LOST LOSER! Buyers and Sellers suck!”.

Great post Marlow!

We sure had a lot of fun with that stolen image from Debbie’s site! I was sending the URL of the offender to all my friends and family so they could get a laugh out of it too.

Thanks for re-hashing, I laughed out loud again today when I read about it and remembered the whole situation.

BTW, Nice blog too!

Sincerely,
