So You all may have read the articles at 3Ders.org before. From the outside they seem like a decent news source, but if you look deeper into practically every single article they ever publish you will see that nearly 90% of each article is taken from various news sources and blogs. Not just ideas but entire paragraphs, word for word, usually from 2-3 websites per article. This is repeated in nearly every single article they publish, publish under anonymous names of course. Here is a quick case study posted on Reddit today:

3Ders.org may be one of the more popular 3d printing news sites, but they are the biggest copyright infringer in the industry. Take for example this article they just published:
http://www.3ders.org//articles/20140...inting-ip.html
Now it seems like it is original content, but think again. Take the first sentence:
"Greater availability and affordability of 3D printing has sparked a revolution, the implications of which are said by some to be limitless. "
This is a directly copied from an article written by Kim Walker on Computerweekly.com:http://www.computerweekly.com/opinio...om-3D-printing
Now Take the second and 3rd sentences:
"However unauthorised commercial production of patented products by 3D printing may constitute an act of patent infringement by the user of the printer. In addition, keeping, using, offering for disposal or disposing of the resulting infringing product can amount to infringing acts."
This is taken directly from the 3rd paragraph of an article written days prior athttp://www.taylorwessing.com/downloa...ter_guide.html
Nearly 90% of the remainder of the article is just Copy & Paste of the Press Release issued by the company. Any original content that they do write is in poor English.
This is not a one time thing. I could do the exact same this for nearly every single article posted on 3ders.org. It's pathetic that this person is getting away with this.
