#5As soon as you searched you saw that many other people had written this kind of thing, and yet that hadn't done any good. What made you think this post would make any more difference than the previous ones you found?
If you want to actually make a difference, talk to your solicitor. You might even get some money out of it.

Didn't you read the article at all? It's only a few paragraphs:
"So how did Daily Mail embed the visualization without the word “poop” popping up on an empty page? They downloaded all the files from my server on to their own server and deleted the snippet that brought up a poop alert. That way they didn't have to deal with those pesky safeguards I setup.
In other words, The Daily Mail deliberately stole my work."

#8The morally corrupt posing as moral guardians.
I know people who have had other things like photos from flickr stolen by them.
They are disgraceful!

Downloading all files and re-uploading them without attribution is pretty akin to digital IP theft however.

It's worse! You still route traffic to the site and don't even pay for your own bandwidth, while reaping the benefits of their content.
Also, they didn't just embed an iframe - read the whole article.
