It wasn't stolen, it wasn't plagiarised. It was attributed correctly. We have a right pair of fucking Chicken Littles here it seems. |

He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2 million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement." A leopard doesn't change his spots. |

It's not so much the issue of not respecting the license as it is that this type of content can be used in a publication such as BI without even fixing the formatting. This is just so bogus.

That's pretty funny, actually....I suppose that Moulton would have had quite a bit to say about this one! |

It wasn't stolen, it wasn't plagiarised. It was attributed correctly. From what it seems, it implies by authorship at the top that it was his. It also only gives a link and not direct attribution, and the link is in the title. At no time does it explicitly say "mirroring Wikipedia". |

He did indeed author the first 200 words that preceded the in your face Wikipedia attribution. So who's going to be the first to point out what was wrong/inaccurate in the WP article and how is it likely to bring down journalism as we know it?

For one article, where "Wikipedia on the My Lai Massacre" in 14pt blue text (complete with link) is emblazoned across the screen, I hardly think it matters. There are 100s of WP scrapers all over the 'net, I rather doubt one more is going to cause the sky to fall in. |

Jeez, I learned about Blodget back during Web 1.0. Like many of his Web-friends in the "investment
community", he destroyed the life savings of thousands of people, by rabidly hyping dotcom stocks. I'm amazed he didn't get any jail time. This country is very corrupt indeed. And you guys are just discovering it? |

Yeah, 16 Afghanis killed by an American soldier and all that gets your goat is the use of a Wikipedia article. Talk about blinkers. Fuck me! |

Why would the two be mutually exclusive prompters of anger? Never been to a funeral in which people were sad but then got sad over something else too? Or got angry over something? Emotional states tend to compound quickly. |

In any case I thought WR was supposed to be critical of WP not Business Insider, or has Selina now widened the scope of WR? |

For the extra-dense-minded individuals who are still here at WR, it may be helpful for you to come to realize how often Business Insider is used to promote and shill the cult of Jimbo Wales.
Then, if you have any more questions about why we talk about Business Insider on a web forum purportedly dedicated to criticism of Wikipedia and its governors, try to frame the questions in a coherent and helpful way. |

Maybe they should do more mirroring, and less original content? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) |
