Anger gives me phpbb supahpowaz!
Hehehe, nah, perhaps an hour including finding all domains and such.
There _MUST_ be a way to stop this kinda scams. (Google banning them from AdWords, as a first step)

Wow. Kudos for the dedication.
Yeah, there's a sort of cheap way to do this. Google has recently released a feature where you can comment and downvote a search result. The problem is that you still need mass amounts of advertising and community behind you to truly beat this process.
It's like an AHK being labelled a false positive by AV companies or an employee being treated unfairly by a large company. Lots of times you need exposure.

I wonder how many people actually fall for those scam sites?
(Probably a lot. I don't have much faith in human intelligence.)

Such scraper sites with adsense/adbrite/adigy on them are even featured on google results, i don't understand how can google give us results of such sites. :mad:
I think services mentioned below can be used to take these sites down.
# Phishtank (another opendns sister project)
# Web of Trust (Firefox plugin available)
BTW good job for pointing it out, Scannie :up:
