We think of every publisher on the Internet as a SkyGrid partner...

SkyGrid delivers your content to a unique and highly engaged audience of investment professionals on Wall Street. SkyGrid’s clients are some of the most well regarded institutions in the financial sector, and include portfolio managers, hedge funds, research analysts, and traders...

If you ever want any of your content excluded temporarily or permanently, please just let us know.

So they scrape our content without respect to copyright and distribute it to their cronies, but if we email them they will remove it? How nice.
