So I don't know anything really about legality or copying others new stories, but this article looks copied word for word from the on here on NintendoLife. I looked through and saw there were a few more articles that I believe were copied. I thought I would let you guys know so you can take action if necessary! Here is the link to the one I noticed.
I've just read it myself and.... yep that is verbatim what NLife's article said. This has to be plagiarism right? It's worth noting as well that the site seems to be a general news one since one of their main headlines is the events which shall not be named here. They may be seeing the buzz about this on Twitter and copied the first article they found in the Google News section so that they could cash in (and sure enough, NLife's is the first one that pops up).
@Olliemar28
Your article has apparently been plagiarized
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced
@Blooper987 Next time you see something like that use the Contact button in the red banner below to alert nintendolife. They'll appreciate it. Although, looks like JaxonH just tagged the NL writer, Olliemar28, in this case.
It might one of those pages that are set up just to copy or aggregate articles, either for ad revenue from random Google visitors, or as a front for something else.
Either way I’d advise against visiting the website.
@Blooper987@Tasuki@Eel thanks all, and yeah these are fairly automated spam sites... and Google knows what they are doing. I'll send a takedown request anyway but doesn't always do much, unfortunately. Thanks for the help!
