Want to catch people stealing your website content? Use an RSS honeypot

Want to catch people stealing your website content? Use an RSS honeypot: "his method wouldn't catch people who visited my site and manually copied the posts -- but I didn't care so much about them. I wanted to see who was simply creating scripts to automatically crawl RSS feeds and pull the content onto their own sites. That's the laziest form of scraping on the Web. (I figured that any human being copying the RSS feed would be smart enough to at least delete the disclaimer line.)"
