Comments on Government aviation website rips off blog
well,they picked it off now.
What else is new? My students are encouraged to plagiarize from the moment they step foot in the university. Sad but true. Hopefully this changes as China continues developing...
China Daily does this quite often. I don't have the links right now but English blog posts often end up in a certain section of the paper and website. The example I was reading lately was from I Love China.
I don't know what their problem is, blog or whatever: If writing is being used in a for profit operation then they need to get permission, credit the author and possibly compensate them in some way.
At the very least credit it and give the link back on the online version.
What, and this is news? The local Ningbo government has done this to my website at least 3 times (that I found out about, anyway). All I have to do is browse to a random page inside my site, highlight a phrase, and paste it into Google or Baidu. I'll turn up a couple of sites that have ripped me off. Why should the government be any different? What are you going to do, sue them?
