As a journalist, committing plagarism is the death penalty. This is why I'm fascinated with Crunchnotes' nasty war with Josh Stomel, who has been stealing Michael Arrington's work and posting it as his own. This guy claims he didn't mean to steal and blames his stealing on being too busy, his newness to blogging, and the fact he "writes" during the day and then edits his work at night. That's as lame as it gets. Stomel has lost his credibility and, I think, his right to blog. You knew sooner or later plagarism would rear its ugly head on the blogosphere but this is such a blatant example of blog-arism, it will likely become the example on what not to do. See you later, Josh!

Did you check out his bio page? It's a long list of about 200 domains he owns. I think his business model is pretty obvious.

it will be interesting to see if he can be shamed into not blogging. then again, he looks like a pretty opportunistic - and unethical - kind of guy.

that may be true but it depends on how you define "faster and better", doesn't it? the guy stole someone else's work. it that how you get ahead faster?
