The sites are all scraper sites of one kind or another. Most are pulling 2-4 sentences of content from my sites (about 40-50 words of content). This content is then listed alongside content scraped from 10-12 other sites and capped with a block of Adsense ads to monitize it.

It's probably not enough duplicate text to have any effect on my rankings, but it's pretty annoying to me that both spammers and Google are knowingly making money off my original content.
