🚨 Content Theft Alert: EIDM.co.za is Stealing dev.to Posts!

The website eidm.co.za has been caught blatantly scraping and reposting articles from dev.to without permission—while falsely claiming authorship!

❌ What’s Happening?

  • Every new dev.to post is copied and reposted on EIDM’s website.
  • The original authors are not credited—instead, the site owner falsely presents the content as their own.
  • This is a direct violation of copyright laws and dev.to’s Terms of Service.

🔥 Why This Matters

  • Developers work hard to create original content, and content theft disrespects their effort.
  • Unethical behavior like this undermines community trust and hurts genuine creators.
  • Dev.to is a thriving community that supports and rewards real authors—not plagiarists.

⚡ What You Can Do

  1. Spread the word! 🚀 Share this post to warn fellow dev.to authors.
  2. Report the website if your content has been stolen.
  3. Contact dev.to support to ensure action is taken against scrapers.
  4. Check if your posts are copied by searching for key phrases from your articles on Google.

🛑 Content theft should not be tolerated!

Respect developers. Respect content creators. EIDM.co.za needs to be held accountable.
