Maija Palmer and Paul Taylor of the Financial Times are the real author of most of the work, "Google iPhone usage shocks search giant", that you reprinted/repurposed/fair-used/pinched: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/667f13de-da60-11dc-9bb9-0000779fd2ac.html By my count at least 200 words of the 318 words in the AppleInsider story are direct copies. The rest are cheap substitutes ("2008" for "this year".) The few changes were cursory at best and dangerously speculative at worst. (Will Android phones be "be announced in the second half of this year" as the Financial Times reported or will they "begin shipping during the second half<http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/11/05/notes_of_interest_on_googles_android_announcement.html> of 2008" as AppleInsider reported?) If this were my student, I would have strung him up on plagiarism charges. I think you should publish a clarification. So let me challenge the fair use advocates to explain how this kind of "fair use" is good for society?
