Default Did you know that there is a website that copies all of the Q&A's in the South African category?


I just wanna know if this is legal? The website copies all info from Yahoo Answers South Africa (even the personal ones) and post it on their web page as information on traveling to South Africa.To all: It's not as bad as you think it is. It's not monitoring this section. It's only using the information we provide to help people answer their travel questions. What I'm worried about is the fact that it copies information directly. Exactly as it goes on Yahoo Answers South Africa. Even the non-travel questions are posted there.

ok, not good!!! it can take what we say totally out of context! i mean we are a community here and after a while you know what to expect from people, answer their questions accordingly, know what reactions they want from their questions, etc!!! (ok, took me a while... ;-) They can't just post it there directly!!!!!!!! why can't they just give a link to these pages?!

I have personally came across some of our questions and answers while using Google to research things in SA. I was a bit surprised but not too worried. Google seem to list some of our Q&A's as sources.
