Stolen Views on News

Some fellow calling himself munaeem has set up a blog ironically titled “My Views on News.” All of the views have been copied and pasted, without attribution, from PoliBlog‘s Steven Taylor.

UPDATE: munaeem has deleted all but one of the Taylor posts after having been contacted. The whole thing is quite bizarre, frankly.

    The other entries on his site seem to be coming from the site of one M. Munaeem Jamal here:

    Go with a religious posting? Maybe they won’t use the blog? Jesus thinks your bad?

    Maybe somone else is a kid?

    I’m not sure what you think you’re talking about. Then again, I’m not sure you are, either. I suppose the thing to do is to let it pass.

    I told him. I did this , while I was playing with http://www.technorati.com. Don’t make a fuss of it.
    I deleted the post , after 25 minutes, when he pointed out.

    “No problem and thanks. I would prefer you delete the whole posts, but by all means, feel free to link. I welcome linking and I don’t mind at all if you want to post excerpts of my stuff so long as you post a link and give credit.”

    Thanks and good luck setting up your blog.
