Just to be clear, I'm just the submitter, this isn't my blog.
Also when I looked at the article originally it did _not_ have that link in the first sentence. Google Cache won't load for me but here's a screenshot of the preview from Google: http://cl.ly/1h2w0I413X063l3e0Z2k

#4I can't even imagine why you'd blame old media when AOL, Gawker, Business Insider, Mashable, The Verge etc show them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that the key to success in the internet age is SEO spam and cheap writing / rewriting.

#6"Not giving credit" is not strong enough. That's the term you use when you pull a quote or a fact without attribution.
This is plagiarism. Or it was. Now it's just lazy writing.

... with a discrete link at the end of their rewrite of that article that conveniently includes the punchline and any images or videos they felt would enable them to better hijack your work.

#9"Old Media"!?
It was launched in November 1995. To many thats old, but to most I would think thats not "Old Media" in the usual sense of the word.

#10I remember reading Chris Dixon's original post. I even popped the question to a friend... "Pop Quiz.. Name one game other than Angry Birds that Rovio had produced".
He named three... all of them being Angry Birds update releases. lol.
MG Siegler has had multiple rants about mainstream news outlets not attributing him for scoops and releases.
