Hi, I'm trying to copy contents from another website. But here is my
problem.....

all the contents that i copied has links that redirected to the
destination links. for example, if i click the following
link..(redirect link)
http://www.slickdeals.net/?pno=6853&lno=1&afsrc=1

it will take me to...(destination link)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...200050001&type=product&tab=6&id=1069302880231

What i want to do to replace the redirect link with the destination
link when i'm copying contents from another website, without having to
manually go into each link and change it the destination links. The
reason i'm trying to do this because i dont want the source site to
know i'm copy stuff from them. Is there a way to do this? please
help...

many thanks

Are you nuts? Or just attempting to troll around a bit? Why would
anyone in their right mind help you to rob teh content of someone elses
site?

To see if it's possible, so they can protect their own site?

Just ask a friend webmaster if you may try this with his/her site. Not
necessary to rob content of the site of someone you don't know and you
don't want to know. Besides, if you want your content really protected:
don't publish.

That's not what I was getting at.

If somebody asks "how can I steal something protected this way" and gets
instructions, he will learn whether or not the protection scheme he had
in mind is dumb or not. I suppose the more straightforward way would be
to ask "is protecting my stuff this way reasonable?", but that may
elicit responses from a different set of people, or a different mindset.

for example jpg files can be easily copied (right click, save target
as). So somebody had the brilliant idea of wrapping the picture in a
flash presentation (koff, gag). I asked why such an abomination, he
said he was tired of people stealing his stuff.

So I did a print-screen and sent him his own picture back. He was
astonished - he never thought of that.

Sure, the OP might be a troll. But sometimes asking the question
backwards will get you closer to what you want.

Why not doing it manually?

Maybe. Let's see what the OP has to say in response.

My first thought is that you are too lazy to do it manually.

My second thought is you are a low-life lazy ass for stealing other's
material and hard work and asking us to help you make it easier for you.

My third thought - how would you like it if you spent hundreds of hours
putting together a site like this and someone stole the whole thing from
you in a matter of minutes?

Allow me to expand on my second thought - you ARE a low-life lazy ass
thief.

I don't understand why all these people get angry at me for asking the
question, i mean everybody copy stuff from the web. I agree it is
unethical, but so what, internet is a free place where people copy
others materials, downlaod free stuff using P2P. For all of you
people out there who is criticizing me, did u every download mp3? did
you every use P2P? if your answer is yes, then shut the F... up, u r in
no position to critize me. I'm just asking a qustion, want to learn
more stuff, that is it.

So, theft makes things efficient?

Don't take it for granted that everyone is low-life pond scum like you
are, bucko.

or should i remind you, your
post is an insult to your self?

You're an idiot.

For shame, varlet! Hath thou no moral fiber? Go now this very minute
and take a bottle of Mucelex to the parish priest, have him bless it for
you, and download the whole thing via your gullet to increase said moral
fiber with due penance in the offing.

I can honestly say I have never used P2P to get a free program or file,
nor have I downloaded any song or movie that I did not legally pay for.

One more thing - I have NEVER copied another person's website except to
move text from an existing customer's site to his new one.

As I said, you are a low-life lazy ass for stealing other's
material and hard work.

You're right: I don't. Please don't try to rationalize your own
misconduct by telling yourself "Everyone else does it." Not everyone
else does. You're attempting to violate copyright law which is usually a
violation of national law wherever you live. People have known for ages
that stealing the works of others is wrong. The internet doesn't change
that.
or should i remind you, your post is an insult to your self?

Hardly. Now, go away, or better yet, get some ethics.

I'm obviously in the wrong news group. Everybody here are honest and
ecthical, good, keep it up. I actually respect people with such high
moral ethics. Hope your guys not just a bunch of hypocrite. Again,
I'm not saying i'm doing the right thing, i just think you people just
overreacted

alt.2600 is that way: --->

I know you are being sarastic, but yes, there are actually many people
who hold such standards (probably more than you realize, and one day
you might find that one of them is your boss --- or maybe your judge),
and this ng is one place they hang out. Once there was an unofficial
faq for this ng, and one the lines in it read:

"Requests for warez or cracks will be treated with the
contempt they deserve".

Run a newsgroup search for cheats, thieves and liars. You'll feel right
at home.

No.

Try asking your local police department. Or a lawyer.
