What is this?

this site is displaying ripped duplicates of other websites. One of mine isa on here, and i found it listed on yahoo right below mine.

Click the links and they show the content of the site it is taken from.

Funny thing is I dont see any redirects or changed links in the pages.

1bu.com on yahoo, any guesses on what this is about.

Looks like WebGrab or something like that. The "about page" tries to offer an explanation:

Quote:

1bu.com filters the function(About +.1bu.com or 1bu.net):

You add in the back of existing websites .1bu.Com or .1bu.net is visited, Can filter FLASH above , webpage virus , hostile code ,etc. ; Can convenient increase filter telecommunication wait for ISP filter yellow , illegal website that lose ,etc. also, benefits your use.
If you are a network station owner, do not hope your websites are filtered and visited , Can be very easy to Remove by oneself ，so filter websites which visit you again , will appear such.

LOL

I think this is a kind of demonstration of web grabbing software ... the domain is for sale, btw:
http://www.1bu.com/Tosell.htm

This website (domain name ) to sell.

1bu.com Chinese meaning is one step , or First business

It must be a joy to live outside the grasp of US lawyers.

As long as my links are inplace, and they arent changing the code, i guess I dont care. This is the first time i have seen it so completely unchanged and displayed "as-is".

Another quick concise answer thanks faglork for the insight.
