Dear reader,

Please look carefully at the web address in the URL field of your browser. It should read ‘http://allanthinks.typepad.com‘. In case you see a web address containing the word ‘bitacle’ or ‘bitacle.org’, you’re not looking at the original page on which this text was posted. If this is the case, the text you are reading right now might be incorrect or out of date. After I place a post on my weblog, I always try to keep published information up to date, or incorporate additional information, which I receive from readers. You will never find this information on bitacle.org.

Bitacle.org copies the content of weblogs without permission of the author, the holder of copyrights or the licensee. By visiting bitacle.org, you create income for the people who run bitacle.org, at the expense of me and other owners of a weblog, without permission and often without respecting copyrights and/or terms of use as in a license. So please, next time you want to view my posts, do so by using the web address of my weblog, which is ‘http://allanthinks.typepad.com‘. Please make a bookmark of my weblog’s address, if you would like to visit it again.

Thank you!

This post is stickied and will remain at the top of the page for a while. This was suggested by the folks at Stop Bitacle.org. Hopefully if enough bloggers do this it might put pressure on bitacle to stop stealing content.

I couldn't believe it when I read about this on Alison's blog. How do they get away with that?

I've got the correct address. Why is that people keep trying to ruin such a harmless thing as blogging. I guess if they're making money, that would be the answer.
