We could very quickly get into a debate here about how original ideas are created and how you credit the originator and the organisations that pass that story on. Isn't this a debate about a business model that is on its knees because the means of distribution is ubiquitous? Cheers, Wadds Hi David,

This is an interesting debate and you touch on Nick Davis’ concept of Flat Earth News, itself back in the news thanks to the Prime Minister.

We could very quickly get into a debate here about how original ideas are created and how you credit the originator and the organisations that pass that story on.

I foresee the biter bit. I went to this page in The Times http://bit.ly/4vMupX Analised it to get the semantis concepts http://bit.ly/5xx7Y1 Looked for those concepts in Bing.com and found that loads of other people and publicastion wrote this story in similar terms long before The Times http://bit.ly/7Lb6Fn Who, then is going to set up the counter organisation to the NLA to get their money back from newspapers who borrow/plagiarise content from the online community? Equally, when The Times vanishes behind its firewall will this mean that it will pay all the other sites for the news it plagerises from them as well as suiing all the sites that use the same story after they publish offline or behind the firewall? Stephen, I can see a lot of people who will eat the breakfast of the publishing industry even sooner than they thought because of these moves. I just wonder who will write the application that automatically identified the url's of same/similar content on a Google sidewiki to let everyone see where the media stories really come from? (Then everyone will see, this or that press story really came from a press release/blog/wiki etc....). This is an amazing can of worms. I foresee the biter bit.
