Site plagiarizes blog posts, then files DMCA takedown on originals
http://j.mp/Z0Iei9 (ars technica)
"A dizzying story that involves falsified medical research, plagiarism,
and legal threats came to light via a DMCA takedown notice today.
Retraction Watch, a site that followed (among many other issues) the
implosion of a Duke cancer researcher's career, found many of its
articles on the topic pulled by WordPress, its host. The reason? A
small site based in India apparently copied all of the posts, claimed
them as their own, and then filed a DMCA takedown notice to get the
originals pulled from their source. As of now, the originals are still
missing as their actual owners seek to have them restored."
