Seattle Post-Intelligencer suspends blogger for copyright infringement
Posted by Marlow Harris under Real Estate
This happened late last year, but I thought it was worth noting. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which hosts a innovative section of professional reporters and readers blogs (including my Seattle Real Estate Professsionals blog), suspended a blogger for being a little too generous with quotes from another source.

Marlow, was there a specific complaint? Did the blogger not credit the source? What lessons are here for fellow bloggers?
My apologies for all my questions…inquiring minds want to know…at least my inquiring mind does.

Apparently the blogger quoted too liberally from another newspaper article and was cited for copyright violation.
