If you ask Google for the sites linking to www.domainmagazines.com you will see other domains, many with the letters "magazine" in the domain name, that are obviously generated by the same company and steal the same content. This is done by software -- you feed the stolen content into one port, the domain names into another port, and the desired linking patterns into a third port, and presto, you have a Google PageRank generator through the use of templates. These spammers are so far ahead of you, and can act so quickly, that it is almost silly to go after each piece of stolen content with a DMCA complaint. What's needed is a closer look at the weaknesses in the PageRank algorithm.
