I'm thinking of changing the name of Articlebot.

The Articlebot name is being used and claimed by someone that has created software that helps people plagiarize content. I will not do them a service by creating a link here to their site but if you use the name articlebot in a url and add the .com domain you will see.

This persons software called articlebot takes content and restructures it to appear different than the original. Allowing people to use the content as their own. He also has a pattent application on this method as well as the name articlebot.

Future name suits aside, I don't want to be confused with this persons contribution to the dark side of the web.

Any opinions or suggestions?

I just noticed that the site in question has been closed.

I spent an hour today at work trying to think up a new name for some custom software. Wow that can be difficult to do. Maybe you have changed the name already, but I wanted to offer a few suggestions:
AutoRSS
RoboRSS
