YVYMag.com Leaps to Top of GLBT Network on Stolen Content!
New GLBT Network member YVYMag.com immediately took the #1 position upon joining a couple weeks ago. Should a blog that steals content from other blogs be allowed such an esteemed position? Want proof the blog is stealing? Go to YVYMag.com and select a post. Highlight and copy the text, paste into google and search and you'll see the original author of the text. Does YVYMag respond to friendly e-mails requesting that they not steal content? No, they claim that they aren't stealing! I would have preferred direct communication with someone at Widgetbox about this, but you don't provide that possibility. What does Widgetbox think?
I’m pissed.

Inappropriate?Hey Robert,
support@widgetbox is always available as well, as an FYI. We do direct traffic here first.
I believe that the theory of 'stealing content' in blogs is a pretty foggy concept, as there are many blogs that repost content. If they've made it to the top of GLBT, it would mean that they have high traffic and frequent post rates. The only issue that I see on their blog is a lack of attribution, but I don't believe that this is a violation that we'd remove someone from the network for.
