Profit From PleasureProtecting your site from Theft and Poaching - Combating Smart Tag and TOPtext technology
Several respected publishers; jl scott of iCop in the
WHISTLE BLOWER mailto:WhistleBlower-on@mail-list.com Boogie
Jack in Almost A Newsletter http://www.boogiejack.com and
Armando in F.B.C.N. http://www.emailexchange.org/ -- have
all mentioned these gruesome visitor stealing technologies,
this week and quite rightly, ranted about the injustices.
I view this as copyright theft, as well as a downright
underhand attempt to take food right out of our mouths.
But you can do something about it. This isn't 100%
foolproof, but should make an impact -- who knows, if you do
it, pass it on and so forth, it could end up being enough of
a boycott to make these people think again?
First, visit the link below, which will give you some more
background information on what this is about -- will show
you how serious it is -- and for details on how to combat
most Smart Tags. You will need to make a one line edit to
all your site's pages, but it is well worth it.

Now for crushing TOPtext,
jl scott kindly sent me the
following information, normally reserved for iCop members
and has given me permission to pass it on to you so we can
get it to as many people as possible.
If you read THE iCop WHISTLE BLOWER! on Monday, you know
about TOPtext and how it's invading your web sites. And
you've probably heard about Microsoft's "Smart Tags."
iCop Founding Member, Bob Massa of SearchKing, put his
people to work and they've come up with a code that will
stop TOPtext from working on your web pages. You can get it
at: http://www.searchking.com/ezulakiller
The second one goes in the body of your document, so those
of you using SSI can probably insert it once in your header
or footer and it's job done. Employ both and you'll keep
most of these sharks at bay - for the time being, at least.
