ALN back in the game this quick?

Just got this email.

Hi,

We have just released Authority Link Network 2.0,
here's the list of the changes that we made:

- up to 30% of your distributed article will not
contain backlinks (to avoid footprints)

- added mass article adding and scheduling feature,
now you can mass submit or mass schedule the same
articles up to 5 times by using these features

- we are now hiding confidential information like
the number of total ALN blogs, etc

- article titles that have more than 20 words in
it's final spun format will be automatically rejected

- added duplicate content prevention feature, now
your spun articles can only be submitted up to 5 times
by using the mass article adding or mass scheduling feature,
don't submit it multiple times without using these
features, because we will detect it as a duplicate

- added mass blog importing and editing

- added chart for user's post PR distribution

Please report back to us if you've found any bugs
and error in ALN 2.0, so we can solve it asap

We hope with these changes it will help lowering the
blog de-indexing rate.

Cheers,

My question is, are they idiots or just rip off artists?
