NashvilleBlogs.org gets 'the Byrd'

Local Salemtown blogger Michael Byrd has a got a bone to pick with NashvilleBlogs.org. He's accusing them of stealing his content. There is a difference between aggregating teases to content and outright republishing without permission. Mike's fighting back and I'm thinking it's going to be effective.

I started to type NashvilleBlogs.org into my browser window. Here's a screen shot of Firefox's suggested auto fill "NashvilleBlogs.org Steals local content, refuses to rightfully attribute to local authors".


And then once I got to NashvilleBlogs.org right there on their own front page is the accusation again "NashvilleBlogs.org Steals Local Content, Refuses To Rightfully Attribute To Local Authors". Here's the screen shot:


The old saw about picking a fight with people who by ink by the barrel has been updated, NashvilleBlogs.org. Pixels are equally effective. Amplify this NashvilleBlogs.org: "Go get your own content".
