I don't like the title - unlicensed copying is not theft, no more than fraud and impersonation are murder. Still, as the article says, with the proliferation of Google-financed spam weblogs, your content will be copied without any regard for your licensing or intentions. And while I support open content, this is not what I support - indeed, these sorts of spam weblogs are just the sort of thing that motivate my desire to use a non-commercial clause in my license (so if you see a Google ad anywhere around this post, you are seeing content used in violation of my license - behaviour I have come to expect as typical of the corporate and commercial sector).
