Save it Stumble it Digg it Twitter it No one from Shyftr has contacted me in response to my emailed requests to remove my feed from their site. It seems they care as little about customer service as they care about copyright. I emailed them on Saturday afternoon and asked them to remove my feed within 48 hours. That deadline is now up, and the full posts from my feed are still up on their website. Since I have no other course of action, a DMCA take down notice is due, as promised.

Shyftr is definitely showing poor form by taking an entire post and displaying it through their service... particularly if you've not consented to this level or content reproduction. Thanks for raising awareness to this abuse. I'll have to look into their service more closely and monitor my logs to see if they begin pilfering my blog. On a side note thanks for mentioning the RSS footer plugin... with a little research I found it and have added it to my blog. Interesting situation Raoul.
