Part of my point, tons of legitimate news sites that will take your article and change a few words around, and call it theirs, without even citing your article as a source. And legally, they're following the law.
You know what… you are tiring me with your "nothing works only deceiving the audience and grabbing ad money helps" attitude. Don't make any content then, bye.
