“Mag The Weekly” Continues to Steal

November 28, 2009

Mag The Weekly, a print magazine that comes under the network of “The News/GEO” continues to steal information from KoolMuzone even after multiple requests made to the editor of the magazine. MagTheWeekly has been completely ripping off weekly charts in each of their issues. They have also been taking content for other news/articles without mentioning the source of information. I have been extremely patient till now in writing to the editors, considering the magazine to be part of a famous mainstream publication but none of the emails were responded even after the wait of 2 months.

It may also be noted that this magazine is a sub branch of The News/GEO which has even been “imprisoning” people who were involved in copyrights infringement of their content.

Not only they are stealing our hardwork but also “selling” it since it’s a subscription based magazine. The news & articles we provide are free to read but not free to distribute. Some other blogs have also been ripping off information on daily basis and ignoring the requests being made to them. We will be taking actions now.

Almost all the blogs and publications take information from other blogs but the decent way to do so is put a link back as source which almost all the good and famous publications do. I also share good music articles from Instep Today keeping author information and source intact. I also try to look for author’s personal blog and try linking article to that. I wouldn’t have mind if they had mentioned the source of information or if they even had replied back to my emails. But they chose to continue stealing information without answering to my requests.
