There’s an interesting debate going on over at Bed-Stuy Banana today regarding whether newspapers are pilfering stories from area bloggers.  It goes without saying that intellectual property is a major issue in online media, but the internet didn’t invent plagiarism.  The staff at Harvard’s Berkman Center has been exploring this issue for a decade, and there have been some advancement in defining the parameters for intellectual property online. 

That said, considering all the content that they’re losing to aggregators all across the web, what responsibilities do newspapers have to bloggers?

Join in the convo at Bed-Stuy Banana and let the crowd know what you think.
