    Content Theft Alert

    Recently John Mehaffey outed International Gaming Awards of content theft http://www.4flush.com/online-poker-n...-scandal/12238

    Well, it looks like Haley found another (far less visible) content thief, just compare these two articles:

    http://pokernewsboy.com/online-poker...ommunity/14030
    http://www.thepokerrush.com/2/post/2...community.html

    Pretty much every article I googled from that site came back as a blatant rip-off, with most being plucked from PokerNews.com. The worst is the changing of the opening paragraph in some instances to make it look like they are breaking a story or conducting the interview, shameful.

    Wow, that second article about Ben Mezrich is word for word. They should probably be paying you.

    At the very least Steve, have your lawyer Finklestein to call him on PFA Radio... Have him cease and desist and get you paid.
