The recently launched Yahoo! Malayalam portal seems to have plagiarized content from a Malayalam blog. Let’s hope that Yahoo will look into this and give due credit to the blogger. (via)
They have copied some (6 and counting) of her recipes word by word. The only thing is that they changed the picture. What an easy way to cook up a portal. I can only laugh and sympathize at their confidence that their portal won’t be read
. What other reason to copy contents?
