Oh, look, Frienditto is back

Thanks, Elke, I hadn't checked in a couple of days.

And look at their CYA legal policy regarding copyright!

The Service does not make any claim to copyright for any of the user entries submitted and will remove any content with a proper request from the copyright owner. All entries maintain the copyright of the respective owners. Users of the Service agree that at the time of submission they have proper permissions from the copyright owner. Frienditto does maintain copyright to all pages that it creates or generates, exclusive of the archived entry content.

My favorite is still Section 10, which says if you correspond with them at all, they'll publish everything you say.

Should you choose to present your e-mail address, physical home address, telephone number, full name or other personally identifying information to frienditto by any means whatsoever, we reserve the right to publish said personal information in whole or in part. Should you chose to contact any member of frienditto.com by any communication means, frienditto reserves the right to publish the conversation, in whole or in part, as seen fit to do so. Any and all e-mails may also be published in whole or in part. By communicating with frienditto.com staff, you consent to said publication and acknowledge you have no expectation of privacy whatsoever under federal or state law for materials discussed and/or submitted. Legally privledged materials and communication, and/or communication concerning an active ongoing law enforcement investigation will be kept confidential as required by law.

Now, what *I* think Frienditto should do, if they're serious about respecting other people's copyrights, which I don't think they are, but admittedly, that's just my opinion, is build a registry of no-archive/copyright-permission-denied LJ usernames. Anyone tries to archive a page from that user's account, the software refuses.

Frienditto and Narcopolo: Things that make you go 'Hm'.

Hello...what's this? A tool for figuring out livejournal usernames from ip addresses on comments?

How very intriguing. And, what does it have to do with Frienditto, which lets you archive other people's posts, friendslocked or otherwise?

What an interesting combination, they seem almost to...to strike at the anonymous heart of LJ.

Note, also, the meta keywords for both frienditto and narcopolo pages include:

Frienditto:
<meta name="description" content="Frienditto. The ultimate archiving site on the internet.">
<meta name="keywords" content="narcopolo, frienditto, ljdrama, livjournal, livejournal usernames, lj usernames, craigslist archives, archives, ip address, lj username database, livejournal database">
<meta name="Robots" content="index,follow">
<meta name="GooglePray" content="Google, please rate me high by keyword livejournal">


Narcopolo:
<meta name="description" content="Narcopolo. The ultimate database containing livejournal usernames and the ip addresses that they post from".>
<meta name="keywords" content="narcopolo, frienditto, ljdrama, livjournal, livejournal usernames, lj usernames, ip address, lj username database, livejournal database">
<meta name="Robots" content="index,follow">
<meta name="GooglePray" content="Google, please rate me high by keyword livejournal">


LJ Drama.

Hm.

I disagree with the description "the ultimate archiving site on the internet", as the ultimate archiving site on the internet would make it easy for me to archive my stuff and retrieve it, which Frienditto does not. It makes it easy to archive other people's stuff, but even then, after a few entries, you can't find it again unless you bookmark the URL. What's the use of that? (Well, it's useful for posting on ljdrama and the like, but not really for someone trying to archive their own site, is it?)
