FreeContent usage insults me

I think, free usage of module FreeContent must be officaly declared outlaws!!!

Why? Well, it's as easy as "one, two, three"

It is MY site

Here my site CLONED, inside another site

I'm agnry, insulted, I'm just in the fury!!! Probably I can solve this incident, but - anybody, any site may be target of next content-grabbing!
Now I'll ban .no domain, just as answer...

I had the same problem Lazybadger, my entire site inside another. I banned the offending IP also. This module should not be used legally, as it effectively steals your content.

I understand and agree with your angryness LazyBadger!
But is it framing that is the problem? (I couldn't open the links so I don't know)
If so then maybe this tip can help you and get a small revenge

Have a nice day!

I unbderstand your angryness. But it is the way this module is used by its webmaster.
Take a look at the 'mylinks' module. See admin settings: open link within frame.
Almost the same isn't it!
Btw.: A preference setting which I hate. Argh frames to enclose/open up extern websites..... NOT DONE.

As anyone could just put an iframe in his theme.html or just use frames and loads someone's else site inside it then where's the place of the content module? I also know what's the feeling to find your site content loaded into another site with no permissions and have seen other sites that just load s.o. else's site under just their header in a frame and really hate it but what else could be done instead of banning ip or maybe making such a trick as the one Bananadude redirected to. Maybe should try this, at least for a test..

Can something be put in the .htaccess to stop this, or would disallowing hotlink solve this?
