Yahoo violates copyright - steals content from blogger
Posted by webstuffscan on February 9th, 2007
If Yahoo doesn’t respect copyright, can you expect bloggers to do the same?
In this case, the localized portal of Yahoo ( based on Malayalam - an indian language) has stolen recipes from a blogger and posted it as their own. To quote from blogger,
Some of the posts from this blog are lifted word by word, without my consent and posted, in Yahoo, Malayalam (beta) , and shown as their copyrighted material. See a screenshot of both the pages, which clearly shows the content lifting (copyright infringement).
If anybody else, lifted content from this blog, and exhibited somewhere else, without my permission, please remove the same.
The blogger (who is known as Su in Malayalam blogging circles) says that he has already mailed Yahoo about the copyright violation. He is yet to get any response. Obviously he is unhappy that his posts are being copied without permission!
I guess this is done by the Yahoo’s Malayalam team who probably is working on tight schedules to generate content!
