YahoKa Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 What the hell, i read the post "XML: You'd think it couldn't get worse" On neowin, then over at the register see the same post, WORD FOR WORD. Now, you said Source: The Register, but do not make it clear that this is their work. I think you should put: * Snippit from an article over at The Register: " ARTICLE ... " * Anyhow, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baphomet_irl Veteran Posted October 21, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 21, 2001 in my experience neowin's always given props to 'el Reg' properly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YahoKa Posted October 21, 2001 Author Share Posted October 21, 2001 Still... its so easy to plagiarize content on-line, and even though recognition was given, i think it could have been better. Easy to mistake who did the hard work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailbreak Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 i think it could go both ways. but credit was given to the website, so that is the important part. although many sites lately don't even allow you to do that. for example... news.com, zdnet, etc. check their copyrights and they have a rule strickly for that. so you gotta be careful i guess. but neowin.. you guys are doin a good job anyhow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshalus Veteran Posted October 22, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2001 Neowin does the best job by far of sourcing their news, many times I see Neowin articles ripped off on other sites without attibution... but at least NW has the balls to say "we didn't write this" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted October 22, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2001 The credit was given. IMHO it's ok.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted October 22, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2001 For computer software and hardware news I prefer to visit Neowin. If they were copying the article from someone else, Neowin will give the credit anyway. No offence made by them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
