This is textbook copyright violation.

Scraping other people's content and then watermarking it with your brand while showing ads?

You're just buying time until someone big enough cares about what you are doing.

Honest suggestion: you should submit your own Show HN post for that. I reckon you are being downvoted for "hijacking" another post, not based on the merits of your project.
Should be down-voted doubly then - for hijacking another post and also for promoting copyright abuse...
I never said that had to be downvoted or upvoted. I was just advising him/her to create his own Show HN post to follow this site's rules first, and to maybe get real feedback about the site.

Regarding "copyright abuse", it depends on multiple factors IMHO, but that was not the point of my comment at all.

Wow, how long did this take? very impressive.

No issues with copyright and such?

More than 2 years and we still scrap new sites for manuals

Sometimes small companies complain but we delete its files
