Speaking of Vampires

I suspect that Mr Murdoch and I might disagree about sites that point to to another's copy?

It is of course a question of degree.  There is a marked difference between a headline and short 'teaser' paragraph linked back to the original article and copying an article in its entirety on a third party site.

I am all for the former but the latter is simply digital plagiarism.
