Yahoo India Hit With More Copyright Complaints from Indian Bloggers
Yahoo Inc.'s problems with Indian bloggers over unauthorized reproduction of their content on its
Indian portals may be just beginning.
Bloggers claim they have identified more instances of their content being reproduced without permission on Yahoo's Indian portals. Yahoo's Indian subsidiary has yet to come up with an appropriate response that satisfies the bloggers.
Yahoo did not refer to Su or her blog by name, and also blamed the mistake on its content
provider Webdunia.com (India) Pvt. Ltd . ( oh! what a nice way to put the blame )
Her blog link is here - Surgayathri
Surgayathri has demanded a written apology from Yahoo for allegedly stealing her blog content.(even though her blog was protected under Creative Common Licensing ). The blogger describes herself as a housewife from Kerala in south India in her blog.
She said that her next step would be to take the dispute to court on a number of charges including copyright violation, if "Yahoo keeps on washing their hands off and tries to do a mockery of an apology."
Other than Kariveppila blog, Yahoo! India stole contents from another web magazine (Puzha.com) too and from some other Malayalam bloggers.
This image shows that the whole thing was not a simple copy paste. There were many things which were altered , like sequence of the para's,pictures and sentence structures.( thanks CopyrightsViolation blog).

Why do internet giants like Yahoo do like this ? This is the way they set examples ?? Yahoo owes atleast an apology to the blogger. Don't you think so ? Reply with your comments below..
