Kotaku Stealing Pictures From Blogger
Neowin.net has informed the gaming community that the popular gaming site, Kotaku, one I visit and reference, has stolen pictures from a blogger and cropped them for their news stories.
It is typically a common practice for bloggers to borrow pictures when writing blog posts, but Kotaku has left out any reference to the origins of the pictures used in their two posts. A site as large as Kotaku, which receives enormous traffic, should know to source all original contents that are copyrighted by another website, no matter how large or small that site is.
Kotaku usually provides a link to any references at the end of their posts, so this is either a simple mistake by the writer or sloppy journalism.
