Sleazy ‘Potter’ link on Technorati–but still no TeleBlog

The TeleBlog is still missing from the latest tagged entries for “ebooks” in Technorati. Meanwhile Technorati is unwittingly linking to “Harry Potter 6 – Half Blood Prince E-book” in another blog. If it’s a genuine e-book repro–or perhaps even if this thing is just a fraud–it is illegal. Might be a virus tucked away there, moreover. Hey, Dave Sifry. Technorati’s becoming a zoo. When will your company get things under control? The least you can do is restore the good stuff even if you can’t filter out the crap. For legal reasons, of course, you might investigate the so-called Potter book now that you know about it and the accompanying “Download” link. Meanwhile Technorati readers are missing links to the TeleBlog’s legitimate coverage of the Potter piracy issue. Detail: Yes, I’ll email this item to Dave.
Meanwhile it appears I’m far from the only one having problems, as Dave undoubtedly will admit. I won’t take this personally. I just want the damn problems fixed. The good news for Technorati is that at least folks care. I do. I recognize the complexities of the problems. But couldn’t there be some kind of an override feature to make certain that legit content survives the filters? Thanks, Dave S!

Yep, and part of our BS is about the need for authors and publishers to get fair compensation–which doesn’t happen when books get pirated. We also stand for reader’s rights; in fact, more than an “also.” The issue is “balance,” and you and your ilk don’t help when you rant about your inability to find illegal editions.
