I should probably start a new thread but it's related.
This morning I "tipped" enGadget about this particular news item and they provided a link back to me when they published their story. I thought that was real cool of them and I did not think much more about it.
Just a few minutes ago I was looking in the backend of my WordPress blog and I noticed about 8 new blogs linking to me. Curious I checked out those links.
These links are nothing but people taking enGadget's content and pasting it right into their blog! I'm not sure what kind of license enGadget publishes under but I found it disturbing just how common the practice appears to be.

Very common.
