It was a normal routine for me. I finished my dinner, started my computer & opened up a couple of websites to read articles about yesterday’s & today’s matches of the Airtel Champions League T20. I read one article on www.espnstar.com. The second site that I follow is www.rediff.com & opened up that too. To make sure I don’t miss out anything, I read the article for the same match from both of these websites as usually they cover it pretty extensively.

To my surprise, I found the article word to word similar on both the websites. I was disappointed when I discovered this. I didn’t open up the sites expecting this to come.

After that, I decided to check this article on other websites. Result? No different! Check the URLs below:

All of the above mentioned websites, have a certain amount of respect for their names. Who copied from whom, still remains a question.

Strangely, a couple of days ago, I read an article, it was a meetup of News Corp’s Rupert Murdoch & Tom Curley of the Associated Press. They were saying that the search engines will have to pay for Online News. You can read the article at:

My friends, no one would pay if you continue doing copy paste.
