Print it all you want... You can even copy my images.

My concern was that if someone could duplicate my site in full locally on their computers then they can do all kinds of nasty things to my hard work.

In the past I have had a few of my sites attacked in many ways and I was worried that this webcapture is just another way of steeling from me.

I've had people hijack my site and change all of the links in my ecommerce set up to there own and take my money.

I've had people rip my site off SEO wise as well to the point that if I ran a query on my key words all of my stuff would show up top page, but it wasnt my site.

I have used my htaccess file to disallow webcature.. 2 different versions of it and so far so good.

Not even sure if it is the same thing... pretty sure it is a robot and not a human.
