I noticed this week that a site out there is using wp-o-matic to present my work as his own information security blog.
Some people incorrectly think that a RSS feed is a permanent license to do whatever you want with content. Its not. While it doesn’t look like it, I do spend a lot of time on posts trying to make them semi-literate. Reposting withing credit or link-back steals my Google juice. Without attribution they are clearly plagiarizing my work. Not cool.
I think that presenting my work as his own is a violation of the CISSP ethics.
I may need to put a footer on each post in the RSS feed. “This post and more like it are available at Roger’s Infosec Blog www.infosecblog.org”

This post is not about the people who have asked and the people who do link back. I appreciate that you like my work and provide some traffic back my way.
