A thief *and* a jerk
Dear PR Flack:
Thank you SO MUCH for scraping copyrighted content from all of our blogs, and definitely thanks too for the technology lecture when we caught you at it. We’re all very well aware of “how RSS feeds are commonly used”, but legitimate content aggregators ask permission beforehand.
And frankly, this isn’t the first time we’ve caught your agency behaving badly online; you might want to pass along to your handlers that sockpuppeting and content scraping are definitely not good ways to endear your spirits clients to the drinks-blogging community.
Tell ya what: If you promise not to scrape from our sites again, we promise not to sue you. Deal?
xoxo,
- The Drink Bloggers
