  Sadly, this type of practice seems very common. But I used to think Coindesk was better than that.

  Also, note that I just received this email:

  Is is illegal to plagiarize? I don't think it is a crime, but sure seems unethical.

  The whole situation with CoinDesk is pretty trashy. I've been watching them do this repeatedly.

  Thanks for the heads-up! I have two Bitcoin-related websites with email addresses listed on them, and both received the same email, but 20 minutes apart.

  I used to read CD articles regularly, but after John Law retired, the quality of the articles started to decline. As the LTB feed has ramped up, I've checked it rarely. After reading this, I'm done with CD.
