It’s a blog. Blogs are infamous for reusing content – and rewording just a few things. You do see it an awful lot. Is it wrong? Probably. But it happens a lot.
I’ve seen and heard discussions from newspapers and other reporting sites (who generate most of the original content) complaining too.
Fro me the issue occurs when an item is newsworthy – as I don’t think that you can’t TM or copyright news.

There will be a prize pool of more than $1 million will be on the table Jan. 29 through Feb. 7. The winner gets a ring, and a seat at a “big table” in Las Vegas for the 2007 World Series of Poker, which will draw upwards of 10,000 players and a pot worth more than $12 million.
…
I’ve only changed a few words (in bold) but I don’t see how you could reasonably claim a copyright on these raw facts.
:eh:
Other opinions please ??
