HubPages Green Flies, Part 3
Continuing our tour of web sites that leverage the success of HubPages.com, we examine several domains that consume HubPages content for repackaging and potential advertising success.

They ain't going away anytime soon: they are just different enough to keep the lawyers away, but suing a offshore site operated by automated software and registered to shell corporations in the Cayman Islands tends to be problematic anyway.
