MBWorld - BUSTED! Please ask permission before breaking copyright!

OK - I tried to do this privately but couldn't find an email for your admins anywhere hence this post.

I'm an MBWorld member and you guys have been a great source of info. So when I found out you just scraped my site for content I was a little disappointed in you. You didn't even ask permission. This is the kind of thing dodgy websites do to attract visitors, I really expected more!

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE: MBWorld's article just scraped from my site without permission

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE: The original jamesandtracy.co.uk article copied by MBWorld

Here's the MBWorld article in full: https://mbworld.org/how-tos/a/merced...ke-line-386629
Here's my original article in full: http://www.jamesandtracy.co.uk/howto...ake_pipes.html

Please pull it down guys, quite apart from your bad form, you are infringing copyright. All you needed to do was ask and I would have written one for you!
