Bloggers against plagiarism

Instances of newspapers stealing photographs from blogs are becoming increasingly common.  At DesiPundit, we have linked to a few of such instances in the past.

Sudipta feels all bloggers should take a stand against the issue of plagiarism by the media.  Sounds like a great idea to me!

On October 2, you need to post something about plagiarism by all the media. Write your reaction, stand by fellow bloggers, and tell everyone that they need to be vigilant.

Also, express your opinion here on an idea to prevent such incidents in the future. Your post or photo could be next.
