HAARAM.COM, STOP POSTING OUR POSTS ON YOUR SITE WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION!
A bunch of us bloggers have noticed that you have listed our blogs and have been copying our entire posts on to your site for which we neither signed up nor gave explicit permission. Hence would appreciate if you could stop doing that and take our blogs off your site ASAP.
Consider this a gentle reminder from our end..for now.
We may not be so gentle the next time, for this is a serious issue of copyright violation..

Thank you.

Shocking.

Yes, indeed!! Putting up blog posts without asking is simply outrageous! 😐

Shilpa,
Bhagyashree also said the same in her space. It is really very sad. But on brighter side they find your posts worth “stealing”. This should not be done without asking if they can publish your post by giving due credit.
Take care

Yeah a dozen of us got together to publish the same post on all our blogs! They should have taken the permission to do so before creating their whole website based on other people’s blog posts!
November 28, 2012 4:09 pm|
Surprised,really.
I just checked this site..they have even posted this very blog of yours
December 3, 2012 7:32 am|
Yes, weird it is!
November 28, 2012 4:32 pm|
It hurts the most.. I suppose.
December 3, 2012 7:32 am|
😐
November 28, 2012 4:33 pm|
Apt name the website has 😉
December 3, 2012 7:33 am|
LOL 😀 But I wonder how they pronounce it… it’s with a double ‘aa’.
December 4, 2012 1:40 pm|
haa-ram- eeee ;)Double ‘a’ implies that they are twice as wicked 😛
December 4, 2012 2:14 pm|
That’s very very funny!! 😀
November 28, 2012 4:41 pm|
My blog is also there in the list Shilpa..
I have seen he blogs of many other friends on this site too..wish we could do something about it.
November 28, 2012 4:53 pm|
It is an indexing site.. its search engine tracks bloggers active in last 24 hours and automatically adds them in its list/ nothing much u can do except look for the right place to complain.

If you do not want your blog to be listed there, Shobha, you may request deletion of your Haaram account by e-mailing them at support@haaram.com.
If you do not wish to receive e-mail from them or do not want to aggregate your specific posts, please send a request to admin@haaram.com with your blog url.
December 3, 2012 7:35 am|
Thanks for that insight, Karan! Didn’t know about that!
November 29, 2012 6:25 am|
umm, what do they gain?
December 3, 2012 7:36 am|
Don’t know, the tech guys can help in this! 😛
December 4, 2012 2:01 pm|
They probably thought that their website will act as a major traffic source for the Bloggers .. and also be a single place where you can read all Blogs.. When your website does that you attract a lot of online ads and hence.. EASY MONEY
December 4, 2012 2:15 pm|
OK. So that might be their agenda!! Thanks Karan for sharing this! 🙂
November 29, 2012 7:30 am|
It is really disappointing. Kudos for raising the issue.
December 3, 2012 7:37 am|
Yes, a dozen of us got together to raise this issue!
November 29, 2012 7:48 am|
Outrageous indeed…I’m seeing similar posts on few others’ blogs too…Let’s hope this nuisance is stopped
December 3, 2012 7:37 am|
At least, they have removed the blog posts of those who objected!!
November 30, 2012 9:46 pm|
Hi My blog is also there. How can be get our blog removed please suggest. This is nonsense
December 3, 2012 7:38 am|

ridiculous! so many of the blogs i read are listed there…the least they could have done is ask permission and include those who permit…lagta hai bachpan mei neighbours ke ped ka aam churane ki aadat abhi bhi jaari hai….
December 11, 2012 5:52 pm|
Very ridiculous!! 😐
December 6, 2012 12:07 am|
outrageous… How can we stop it?
January 7, 2013 6:22 am|
I just discovered… my posts are also featured there, without my knowledge.
January 7, 2013 6:44 am|
Do write to them, in case you dont want your posts to feature there! The email ids are mentioned in the comments above. Take care!

Hello Shilpa,
I am developing a feed aggregator for Telugu,Hindi And English Language Blogs. [http://www.readandblog.com]
your thread helped me to know , there are some issues with copyrights , could you please help me to understand what are your concerns/points for the aggregators showing blog links at one place?
my site shows only title of the blog , and clicking on the link will redirect to the blog.
please reply , your reply really helps me to develop my website in correct way.
Thanks In Advance.
Sravan
