The Boston Globe has a piece today on plagiarism and blogs which points to a blog that I’ve been reading for some time now via RSS – Plagiarism Today.
”’A-list bloggers don’t see much copy-and-paste plagiarism because their popularity insulates them,” said Plagiarism Today’s Bailey. ”Unknown bloggers aren’t plagiarized much because they’re undiscovered, and if they are read their content is usually too personal to be used elsewhere.”
So who gets ripped off the most?
”It’s the midrange bloggers, like me and Beth,” Bailey said. ”We’re talented enough and have enough of a base to be known within a circle, but unknown enough to not be recognizable immediately by your average visitor.”‘
