Unlicensed stories
From MediaStudies
From the AP[[1]]:
"Attributor's study, conducted from Sept. 12 through Oct. 12, reviewed 30 billion Web pages hosting copies of stories from more than 100 major Web sites. None of the sites belonged to Attributor's current customers. After excluding all properly licensed content, Attributor then discarded any page that copied less than 50 percent or fewer than 125 words of a copyrighted story."
This article suggests that more people read commentary, or text re-contextualized, than reporting itself - yet what these "pirate websites" are is unclear: are they blogs, wherein an author is expected to cite (read: link to) his source, or are they blatant cases of plagiarism?
Anyway, the above quote seems to suggest that blogs are excluded.
