Default Found a Scraper of my Blog

I have read in this forum about others who have had their content "stolen" and published on another site.

Today, I was viewing my blog stats and noticed that a visitor arrived from BlogCatalog. I always like visiting the original link to see what it was about. When I went there I noticed a post of mine was listed - but it wasn't linked to my blog.

I visited the blog and notice many of my posts were published (without my permission), and even the images were linked to mine.

I noticed that this blog had over 1000 posts a month - meaning he didn't write it himself and probably is scraping other blogs as well.

A quick search in Google pulled up a few results where someone notified a blog owner of this blog scraping their posts as well.

I reported him to Google (some of my posts on his blog are indexed) as well as AdSense. I'll see if anything comes about. I'll contact the author as well.
