Content theft by Yahoo India

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?

This is the statement i got from Yahoo! India.

The Malayalam story was provided to us by Webdunia.com (the content provider) on the express representation that they are duly authorized by the author of the story to publish it. In the circumstances therefore, we do not admit of any copyright violation, as alleged by you.

Although there is no copyright violation and without prejudice to our rights, the said story has been removed from our web site, to avoid any further controversy.

Should you have any further concerns on copyright violations, please write in to copyright@webdunia.com and it will be addressed by the webdunia team.

Thank you.
