Submission + - NYT claims Wikipedia steals its content (nytimes.com)
David Gerard writes: "Noam Cohen of the New York Times, who regularly covers the Wikipedia beat, writing about Wikipedia links in Google News results, slips in a note from his employer: "So, in essence, many Wikipedia articles are another way that the work of news publications is quickly condensed and reused without compensation." I do press for Wikipedia in the UK, and every journalist I've spoken to in the past four years uses Wikipedia as their handy universal backgrounder. But there's a curious lack of donations from the NYT to Wikimedia for their use of Wikipedia. And look at the Maurice Jarre example. So what does the NYT expect to gain from this? Sympathy? Buckets of cash? A large bill from WMF?"
