Comments on: Blogging or publishing online? Beware of Plagiarism & copyrights. But what’s that? http://thecenturytimes.com/2008/10/31/blogging-or-publishing-online-beware-of-plagiarism-copyrights-but-whats-that/ Trying to keep pace with this Century Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:51:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Ashutosh http://thecenturytimes.com/2008/10/31/blogging-or-publishing-online-beware-of-plagiarism-copyrights-but-whats-that/#comment-3944 Ashutosh Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:03:54 +0000 http://thecenturytimes.com/2008/10/31/blogging-or-publishing-online-beware-of-plagiarism-copyrights-but-whats-that/#comment-3944 @ Rahi: Perhaps, It will be better if bloggers' below a specified traffic or a specified Google PR are exempted with it and not those bloggers who blog commercially. When I was writing this post, two of my posts were being completely copied by one of my readers and were published at http://weeklywishingwell.org/2008/10/31/httpthecenturytimescom.aspx & http://weeklywishingwell.org/2008/10/31/.aspx . Although a formal syndication request was put to The Century Times (to which I dint reply) & these posts are duly attributed to this blog too; I didn't like the notion of completely copying & using my posts as a whole to comprise not a part but the full post there. No, I am not going to sue Scott for it :) , but I am merely expressing my feelings here. Any counter-views or reactions? @ Rahi: Perhaps, It will be better if bloggers’ below a specified traffic or a specified Google PR are exempted with it and not those bloggers who blog commercially.

You have a sharp memory. I have added the scanned picture of the corrigenda which I had skipped yesterday. And Rahi, I agree that recency is the most important aspect as far as current affairs & news is concerned. So syndication formalities need to be carried in advance for professional news carriers but it should not apply on bloggers. Thanks Priyanka for dropping by and reminding me the name of Pankaj Jain.

Too many things have been written on the issue and all of them contradicting the others. i very much appreciate ur confusion at attributing to news items. One of the important aspects of news is recency. i can't serve my readers stale news by complying to the proper syndication formalities. so as long as no one objects, i will keep referring to them. at least my readers value it. sorry ashutosh but i can help you little on the plagiarism issue.
