GamePro magazine and plagiarism?

[Vex]

First off, I'm still in the AOR in support of OEF, so this issue of GamePro may not be on the stands in the states. Anyway, I picked up the August issue of GamePro (#168) and I saw a review for a new Shinobi (ninja) game for PS2 (pg. 76 I think.) I started to read the article and I realized that the titles to each paragraph are word for word from the website realultimatepower.net. I read the article and it gave no credit to the website. I wonder how long that writer will be on the staff once he's discovered as a thief?

Maybe I'll send an email to the owner of realultimatepower.net and let him know what's going on.

This kind of stuff really irks me...

I sent the author of the website an email letting him know what I saw. I'll see what his reply is and keep you informed (if you care)

I realize that the website is a joke--that's not the point. The site contains written material that was copied word for word by a nationally read magazine, without proper credit to the website. My point is not the website itself, but the act of theft seemingly committed by GamePro.

How do you know the guy didnt steal the article? where is it by the way I didnt see it when I went wading through all the crap on that website.

are you sure the owner of the site isnt the one who is the author of the article?
