I was shocked this morning to discover that Yahoo has plagiarized content from another website - in the exact order and have not credited the original website!!

They have copied the top 10 listings from the website which lists 100 hoaxes and no recognition / mention of the author. Yahoo has been guilty of plagiarizing content before: Yahoo India plagiarizes content from an Indian blogger

Here is the yahoo article on “Ten of the best April Fool’s Day hoaxes: US museum”

Original article: Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of All Time

This is shocking!! Published on Thu Mar 29, 4:19 AM ET - the yahoo article already has 728 votes giving an average rating of 4.5/5 - and yahoo is making loads of money through their content!! I think museumofhoaxes.com should sue Yahoo for copyright violation!

UPDATE: Jeremy Zawodny and Ian @ twopointtouch.com have replied that the the news was syndicated from AFP. Ian also gave the url: http://www.afp.com/english/home/ to contact AFP. I have contacted AFP for further clarification on why the original website was not credited.
