Plagiarism at its Worst

I love PurpleFoodie's blog. The amount of effort she puts into writing each post and the level of cooking involved is impressive. And its wonderful that she is so kind with noob queries related to cooking in her comment sections and on her Twitter page.

We all know that the plagiarism menace is very popular amongst mainstrem media. In fact a lot of websites can qualify as mainstream media and not blogs. Its easy and almost too convenient for writers to lift lines or stories off blogs. The worst is photographs. And no, the watermark doesnt help.

This particular blog has plagiarised a wonderful Onion Jam photograph taken by PurpleFoodie.Not only has the photograph been stolen, there is no credit link or credit mention. Add to that the user has removed the watermark. The original post is here. Whoever it is deserves to be reprimanded. This post of mine is my way to tell you all of the thieves in the cyber world. Take whatever action you feel is important in this case. Blog about it, email the guilty party or let PurpleFoodie know how you feel.
