Newsoxy.com is a website that originally was a niche site dedicated to "green" news. Already indexed as a "news source" on some search engines, this Blog began to transform into a SEO Jornalism website. Unable to compete legitimately, this blog began STEALING content from any other provider that had a story that could be titled to match the search string exactly.
Newsoxy.com steals from the AP, UPI, CNN, Bloomberg, The Los Angeles Times... you name it. They say they have a license but if they do, they fail to display copyright tag.
How are they able to get away with it? Simple, major media is unaware. The search engines will not act on the behalf of the infringed parties. In fact, the DMCA process is so cumbersome that most simply write the offending website and ask for the content to be removed. This does nothing to stop an offending site like Newsoxy.com. which thanks to this posting, has ended their practice and now re-write content like they should.
