Possibly to avoid content being duplicated but it could be duplicated easily without using a feed. Google recognizes duplicate content anyway and will not reward the copiers so it really shouldn't be a concern too much.

I cannot think of any reason why a person would NOT want someone not to use their feed. Would this not be advantageous to the feed owner? Can anyone think of any negative impacts? I cannot.

It's called Syndication... that's the whole purpose of RSS ;)

If all else fails... Either you or your lawyer send them a cease and desist letter, and also let their isp & hosting company know... Most don't want to be involved in legal problems. They could be your biggest allies in getting the offenders attention.

Thanks admins for reponding, a friend a mine gave me a solution to block requests from certain urls so that is working. Byou I thought about contacting them but figured it is probably a waste a time. If you are in the habit of stealing content you're probably not going to care about copyright in the first place.

I guess aside from blocking them from accessing your feed, you should contact that thief directly to let them know that you are aware of the content stealing. Of course copyright is also a good way of protecting your content. =)

Hi rangulars,

could you please specify what feed you are talking about? The thing is if it is all about the source feed you use to create your digest, there is nothing we can do. However, we will try to be of help if you would like to prevent the digest itself from being used by certain blogs/sites. If it is about the digest, please use FI contact form to provide us with more details.

Hi guys, so wait is there an answer to this b/c I also have a problems with jerks scraping my content. I think they are going off my feed and then somehow drilling into my site to steal my content. I know which sites / blogs they are, would like to block them. Not sure if that is a feature of this product or if I have to do it outside this product. any help would be great!

@meghanrye23
are you saying that there are autoblogging tools that can scrape your content and remove the links from the posts ?

now that's scary ...

i agree it's a good thing. but one question: how about spam blogs scraping your content through your feed but remove links back to your site?

I agree that you won't be affected with what others do with your feed. Also, for bloggers, there are great plugins that automatically create and submit your blog feeds to dozens of RSS Feed Aggregators, the mpment you publish.

Personally, I am using one of those plugins and it is just awesome! It has helped me create sufficient backlinks to rank on Google page one. on several blogs.

I concur with concord depending on who your website host is. Just log in and block the rss feed in the IP deny panel.

It is a good thing if someone is using your RSS feed. You are getting free syndication of your content and it is making whatever is broadcast over your RSS feed more popular.

My understanding is, that the more RSS feeds you get, the more backlinks you receive. So I can't imagine this should be a problem wherever the feeds come from. Google won't penalise you for too many backlinks :-)

Thanks for the above answer on keeping specific feed paths private, I also wanted an answer.
