    Default Someone Stole My Feed- Please help me

    Hi,

    I have been using feedburner from day one and never had any issue but recently I saw someone redirect my Blog Feed to his Blog. Yes, whatever I post will be displayed on his blog immediately. Initially I thought its some RSS directory but when I clicked on the link it din take me to my blog. Rather they have published it saying its their Admin posts. Its really frustrating. Is there any way to disable feed redirection?

    I couldn't find a better place to post so I apologize if I am posting on the wrong thread.

    Please help.

    Crikey. That's low. You can disable feed requests from their host:
    Code:
    <?php
      $blocked_hosts = array(
        'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' // their IP address
          => 'Go away, ya damn feed stealers!'
      );
    
      if($block_msg = @$blocked_hosts[$_SERVER['HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR']])
        die($block_msg);
    ?>

    He! Thanks a lot!

    But where exactly do I paste it? I use Blogger XML. I am not good at HTML. Do I need to parse the code before pasting? And will my feed readers be able to receive the feed or thats alos gonna be blocked?

    Oh... you need to have a PHP enabled server for this.
    I don't think Blogger has that. Er... Just report 'em.

    I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet or not. Even if the offending party's host is not Blogger XML, Blogger XML may still be very interested in finding out about the theft of content and in helping to stop it.
