They take take and give shit all back. Spam their annoying books. Not rewarding people for writing articles. Damn, even Cracked.com does that! The latest is removing the do-follow / now no-follow signatures. As if that will stop spammers. Don't people realise that spammers are outsourced and paid per link - the last thing they will bother checking is DoFollow/NoFollow. Their switching off the do-follow is a big middle finger to all those 'good' people that contributed and helped them become successful for years. I vented about this here: http://www.arnas.net/blog/2009/03/sitepoint-forums-switched-nofollow/#comment-39 .. It is an inevitable 'script' that many end up spitting on the hands that fed them..

Any publicity is good publicity. ShoeMoney probably make a load of cash from all the traffic the article brought to his site. It seems like this article had the “Star” (as in newspaper) effect.

I agree with your sentiment, but why increase the scope of the problem to exploitation in the large ? I just wish these larger companies appreciated the effort some people put in. I mean, if someone came to me and said, hey, your site has flaws, and they're being exploited thus, the first thing I'd do is buy the guy a beer and ask for his wish list ! - so I do appreciate the bigger picture, just not the idea that someones hand needs to be forced in that way. Now, on to better things.. :) Sanity check: Preemptive full public disclosure is wrong. I agree with your sentiment, but why increase the scope of the problem to exploitation in the large ?
