More Plagiarizing… From the AP March 27, 2006 Jill Associated Press: “We do not credit blogs.” Even, apparently, when they lift entire stories from them. Thanks to Lauren for the link.
This is just gross. Well what next? Since they’ve been dallying around next to the precipice for so long, how long before the press just jumps off the edge and becomes nothing more than a completely unabashed bullshit organ? And then what of us?
Wha–? How is this defensible? How is it even legal? It’s clearly copyright infringement, unless the blog was under a CC license that allows for derivative worths without attribution.
Well, it’s not like I get my news from them in the first place too often. But if I do I credit them. It’s only fair. Bastards.
