    Can you show me a link where Google writes about these sites and names them as you have. Or are you just putting words in Googles mouth?

    exceedingly amazed to see the no: of people resisting hpuse and taking sides of copycats.

    Really?

    You really think that as we disagree with hpuse that makes us on the side of the clone websites?

    Thing is we all know the sites aren't illegal. But NOT ONE poster has defended them per se.

    You're as deluded as he is.

    In which case, instead of referring to it as the OP, why not just call it "Trigger's broom"

    Ah yes, that rings a bell!

    I think quite a few people asked him to post up proof but nothing ever materialised!

    Where does google say they are keen on hearing about copycat websites? Can you provide a link?
