Well, this is a new low for you scummy, spammy little shits :evil:

As if spamming forums wasn't bad enough, passing off someone else's post as yours (in this case, a post to the Linux Audio User mailing list from 2008), but in the process the fact that doing so is passing off his copyrighted music as your own... well, that's just despicable :roll:

Julien is a good friend of mine. I know for a fact that this isn't him for a number of reasons: he always goes by his own name (I doubt he knows what a shalwar kameez is, but where I live I see them pretty much every day), he'd never give his location as Pakistan, this is not a new piece of his music and, this is the killer, he posts his music to places that he finds accessible (mailing lists) and never to forums. Sorry spammer, you picked the wrong person's post to rip off :oops:

Mods: please delete the spammy link in the signature. I've asked and Julien's happy for the thread to stay and point people to his music, but he's not so keen to help a stranger's attempts at SEO :wink:

What's the point on the spammer this time? Because he didn't posted a link there, is it just trying people to click on the link on his profile? A bit tricky I would say.

no, it's all about the google-bot.....the more pages it founds with the link the higher his sellingpage is listet in google-searches.

I see, I didn't know that. Smart though, finding the hole in the system and take advantage of it. Does this have something to do with google-sniper? I've been reading lots of spam with that, I haven't do my research to see what's it about.
