F.B.C.N.
http://www.emailexchange.org/ -- have all mentioned
these gruesome visitor stealing technologies, this week and
quite rightly, ranted about the injustices.
I view this as copyright theft, as well as a downright underhand
attempt to take food right out of our mouths.
But you can do something about it. This isn't 100% foolproof,
but should make an impact -- who knows, if you do it, pass it on
and so forth, it could end up being enough of a boycott to make
these people think again?
First, visit the link below, which will give you some more
background information on what this is about -- will show you
how serious it is -- and for details on how to combat most Smart
Tags. You will need to make a one line edit to all your site's
pages, but it is well worth it.

information, normally reserved for iCop members and has given me
permission to pass it on to you so we can get it to as many
people as possible.
If you read THE iCop WHISTLE BLOWER! on Monday, you know about
TOPtext and how it's invading your web sites. And you've
probably heard about Microsoft's "Smart Tags."
iCop Founding Member, Bob Massa of SearchKing, put his people to
work and they've come up with a code that will stop TOPtext from
working on your web pages. You can get it at:

you using SSI can probably insert it once in your header or
footer and it's job done. Employ both and you'll keep most of
these sharks at bay - for the time being, at least.
