Google must surely be able to tell the difference between the original site and copying site because of timestamps. How would an Adwords campaign change that?

Sorry, calling BS on this one. By simply copying a site you get flagged as having duplicate content. Then there's DMCA. I've seen an e-commerce site's homepage get de-indexed, killing the business, due to 1 single image being

How can a "service" be scraped, unless the service is just making content available? Or are you referring to the copy that promotes the service? Scraping is very easy if your content is rendered on the server. If it's rendere

What if I created my content by slightly altering other content? Like writing a news article from a Reuters press release, how much difference does there need to be? Seems like a pretty hard line to draw.

This is the same as "poison pills" right? A directory website would include some fake entries so that if they pop up on other sites they could have only come from copying the original directory. A scraper could get around that by

I've had just one of these and it was horrible. Lying in bed, I started to get subtle pins & needles in my feet which moved up to my knees and the numbness just kept moving up. I thought I was having some kind of stroke so I jumped

Yeah, I didn't phrase that properly. Of course patients should communicate how much pain they are in, but they shouldn't communicate the type of painkillers that are to be prescribed.

This is like saying web developers aren't responsible for thousands of websites getting hacked through some plugin, because the authors of a plugin simply said it was cool, and they advertised it as such and the devs got some affiliate

It would be fair to make choices in the sense of picking a longer treatment that doesn't force you to stay home from work, vs a shorter treatment that would. And of course "another round of chemo" or "I can't be f*c

I discovered that changing a few headers gives you full access to the private/internal API used by the mobile app of a pretty massive website. The biggest WTF is you have to send a Bearer Token but the value isn't checked. So many

It's a bit of a shortcut, but diazepam or xanax or something similar really works wonders. It doesn't knock you out or anything, it really just takes away the anxiety.
