Is it bad to redirect the grabber of a content theft an unwanted feed aggregator in the feed he produces for your grabbed content?

    Pfft. No! The only thing bad is if you don’t share the dummy feed you’re cloaking. I want to see what you’re sending them.

    You’re kidding, right? Goatse, lemonparty, and tubgirl are all too good for the likes of them!

    Joe, Charred actually the thought is just to redirect the grabber in his own feed and to create a loop that way. No cloaking or nothing.
    Just been thinking what possibilities does htaccess all offer (maybe with some javascript too). Redirect in own feed, some URI spoofing?

    I did try to come up with something that might hurt them in Google, but everything I could think of also would have repercusions on my own domain. Unless I cloak.
