Content theft, again?

It looks like another idiot* has taken my “HOWTO – Limiting Access to TCP-wrapped Services With hosts.allow” article, copied and posted it verbatim on his/her blog without attribution… again. How did I find out? Simple, I decided to do a quoted search on Google for “Any changes that are made to /etc/hosts.allow take effect immediately” and found a result that did not include any attributions or citations.

I will attempt to contact the idiot and see if he/she is willing do anything about it. If not, I guess it will be my third DMCA request. Not what I want to do during my personal, spare time.

Update: I have submitted the following message to the idiot via the comments box on the infringing page with the asking for either the appropriate attribution be added or that the page be taken down by “17 July 2011 0000 GMT”; otherwise, I will be submitting a DMCA take-down request forthwith. Whether or not the comment will actually be posted-then-deleted, or not, I don’t know nor care.

*: Please note that I am using the term “idiot” in frustration due to the person’s lack of integrity and blatant disrespect for content writers.
