Welcome one and all, to Confederate Yankee's new home on the web!

If this is your first exposure to my blog, I've got nearly nearly eight months of archives my web guru phin just imported for me that I'll start sorting into categories quite soon.

My favorite philosophying piscatorial pal phin and the wickedly witty lady Sadie are responsible for building Confederate Yankee as you see it today, and are soon to start their own blog design firm. I highly suggest you visit these two, as they have a scary amount of talent and can do wonders for the look and feel of your blog.

And now, back to the show...

Courtesy of the Ebb & Flow Institute, we learn of a site called blogrunner, which steals blog posts and then reposts them in their entirity. The site above seems to be a NY Times-affiliated subsite of Blogrunner. Their main site is here.

Blogrunner even hotlinks images instead of hosting their own copies of these images, forcing the original blogger to pay for additional bandwidth even though visitors may never see his site.

While I'm not a lawyer, I suspect this may not pass the "snift test" for acceptable use. At the very least, it is a huge breach of blog netiquette.

Any legal eagles care to comment on this one?
