I checked some other job sites..
It seems that it is illegal to take jobs from websites, newspapers etc... without prior written permission .. let alone sell the adverts without even placing a link back to the original advertiser.
It does seem quite serious.. they have now removed my adverts.. but this has been going on for some time... and people are even informed that the ??service?? is copyright .. ??
Ya gotta laugh.
In my case, even though they have now removed my adverts ?V and I did point out that an RSS feed is available for people to legally add my adverts to a website were people can view them for free, they have yet to give any form of apology, and seem to think I am being unreasonable. Do you feel it is too harsh to
a) contact other job sites and see how they feel about advert harvesting?
b) That I would have a case for theft?
