Against Internet Plagiarism
There has been a spate of incidents recently when the Indian mainstream media has thought it convenient to plagiarize from the blogging community. The content stolen has not only been blog posts but also photos which they publish without due acknowledgement.
Few bloggers are considering establishing an organization/ community to fight against such theft and give bloggers a stronger voice in protecting their content. Express your opinion in the comments below and let us know if you would like to join such an organization. This would not be a DesiPundit venture but we would strongly support it.

I started a blog recently to collect all incidents of internet plagarism by the media, especially image theft since i’ve been affected twice.

I would definitely like to see an end to the theft of blogger content. People should stop just blatantly copying the pictures and materials that the bloggers publish.

Yes…it should be.
I myself was sometimes using words from other blogs but then deleted my account as felt that we should write by self.
btw…taking 50 words maximum is allowed without even referring to author.
Now I am also worried to blog sometimes due to plagiarism
