Blogs vs. News: Cut and Paste Content
COMMENTARY
The stories below detail the current clash between old and new media. For argument's sake, I always attribute the sources of everything I have l linked on this blog. Additionally, this blog has been linked from major news sources and I have received full credit for my ideas. However, I am not blind and I can see the plagiarism from both camps. More troublesome is the license given to anonymous, user-authors who post unverified content to sites like Wikipedia.
Perhaps the symbiosis of old and new media is changing the concept of free speech into free-for-all speech?
NEWSLINE
"But there isn't any rule against copying stuff off a website, is there?"

Bloggers weigh in on plagiarist of the year
(CNET) News.com is constantly encountering examples in the blogosphere of blatant rip-offs of our stories and blogs. Text is lifted verbatim, and used with no attribution, no links--nothing.
TENSION: There's no class like no-class.
GRAVITY: Blame Web 2.0
