So you if you look at the edit history on http://history.swik.net/blandname, you can see what IP address originally syndicated your feed. It's an open wiki, anyone can edit it, and although some of the feeds in swik appear to automatically wired up, yours was added manually, by 24.84.206.202.

Planet really could/should be used for a web portal to RSS Aggregation (instead of installing multiple applications for pulling all your RSS feeds it would give you it all in the form of a webpage). But as you can see with the Planet project from that page it does link directly to the actual article not a complete repost. Just to let you know if your site/server supports .htaccess files you can block serving of *.jpg, *.gif, *.png formats to any server than your own by checking the referer.

I decided to go to there web site and could not believe that that also copied the post about Swik stole my content! We all take information from web site we visit but most of us link back or get permission to use what we take. Swik is doing nothing more than plagiarism. Now the question is will they copy the comments too?? I saw this post and was amazed that they would just grab everything.
