OaklandLocalNews.com Content Theft Website Steals From Oakland News Now – Report It To Google
There are a number of scraper sites that have popped up and have content obviously scraped from other legitimate news websites like OaklandNewsNow.com.
Why someone thinks this is legal to do is a wonder. Its one thing to have an excerpt but to just make a scraper site to take up space is nothing short of online harassment.
The way I fight back is to have this content out there and pointing right at the offending site, in this case, OaklandLocalNews.com.
Tell Danny Sullivan over at Google about this site and report it for removal from Google search.

Stay tuned.
