Here's an article published on a rival site on the 15th of April.

Here's the 'respected' Daily Times copying it off two weeks later.

Despicable! DT is known for ripping off articles but I didn't think they'd go to the extent of doing it from fan sites. Hopefully they will be sued at some point.

Marooned what if the article was in fact written by Daily Times and somehow was leaked before publishing and someone from that 'rival' site posted as their own? Just a thought.

whats the big deal about this. I've seen loads of articles on the net where a few words are changed here and there and no credit is given to the original source.

I preferred Anils article on the World Cup final preview and why India would win easily :)

It's a big deal, at least for me, simply because this is no random site on the net. It is one of the supposedly most reputed newspapers in Pakistan which is supposedly competing with Dawn to be the best and they show poor standards by copying off articles from fan websites.
