I know I really shouldn’t get hung up over this, but it just beggars belief.

See my post on how Daily Mirror has no clue about copyright, or even the Creative Commons licensing terms.

Now read what they have to say about the PTI allegedly copying their stuff:

The Colombo based reporter for the Press Trust of India (PTI), not for the first time has copied a story off the Daily Mirror website and published the same content with his byline without giving due courtesy to the original source. Not only is this unprofessional but also takes away the due credit that the original reporter deserves. Below is part of the PTI story while the original Daily Mirror story also appears on this page.

(Emphasis mine).

Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

UPDATE Cerno was the victim of a similar issue long ago. By the looks of it, no one in Sri Lanka actually gives a damn about copyright, or even the more liberal licenses.
