Can CC licenses be used to fight splogs? Doc Searls blogs about kleptotorial splogs, a term I rather like, to describe splogs that use feed aggregation systems to appropriate posts to fill their splogs. This is done without permission and typically without attribution. One protection against this is adding a Creative Commons license (e.g., Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike) to your blog. This gives you better standing to complain to the splogger’s hosting site, ISP and/or ad broker.
