Plagiarism

When I used to put watermarks on my pictures my hubby ask why you are doing nobody will take it. If they want they will ask you first. However I found that is not the case. Last week Lisa  of Lisa's kitchen of found out that somebody has copied her  entire blog and put in their site. 

Yesterday while reading famous Malayalam daily newspaper (Malayala Manorama online version) in the internet I found that picture from my blog was copied and posted in one of their article by a staff reporter here is the link. There is no acknowledgment nor was my permission taken. Stealing the photos or articles for commercial use is painful. Wonderful correspondent (he/she)using my picture which is of Moru curry( Yogurt gravy) for Curries that cure the Blood pressure, and posted under recipes of Drumstick leaves soup, Pumpkin beans curry and Avalose unda ( snack made with roasted rice flour and coconut). I have written to the  newspaper to complain about this blatant plagiarism.  Assistant web producer wrote me back that they got content from another magazine and  they have removed the content from the site. But  they moved the story from the front page to a link.  Anyway watch out for photo and content stealing.
