Retrocrush's "Worst Love Scenes" swiped by British tabloid

By at 8:13 am Tuesday, Jan 6

Boing Boing pal Mark Plattner says: "The UK tabloid 'The Daily Star' stole a story from RetroCrush entitled 'The Worst Sex Scenes Ever: A Look At The Most Unsexy Sex Scenes,' then passed it off as their own. It was picked up by at least 30 other media outlets and The Daily Star was credited with the story. When pressed on the issue, the News Editor was quoted as saying 'Well, if it's on the internet it's up for grabs.  You can't copyright anything on the Internet.' Webmaster and writer of the article Robert Berry is calling for legal assistance." Link
