Google mines CC

[cairnswk]

As i was searching for a reference for "Pao" (as i had it spelt incorrectly in the Forbidden city map) i came across the very reference i had made to this term in the results of a search that i did looking for that term on Google.
And this is not the first time I have seen this.

Google seems to be mining for referencing the very logs that are kept on this site, so i have to ask to the question....should lack change the robots.txt file (if he has one) to allow Google to only search the index page of this site, and nothing else.

Seems to me that there is an awful lot of info on this site that could be used lawfully.

Or am I misgiuded?

This sounded like a good map idea...

what do you mean lawfully? because i think that people could just as easily get an account and go through everything if they wanted to...

randomly coming upon it on google will just make people think "whats this..." and either think nothing of it, or get on cc, which is perfectly fine with me.

unless i don't get what you're saying... so maybe clarify a little more

only talking about copyright issues...if any!

i don't think there are any copyright issues here....

and if you're talking about other parts of the forum, i think it doesn't really matter because its just a discussion page, so copyrights don't really need to be worried about right?

cuz it would be like saying, we wouldn't be able to talk about certain products and things that are copywritten in our everyday lives...
