Yes what Buzzfeed did was wrong, however:<p>On Reddit many times I see users swiping photos from news sites, uploading them to Imgur and then go on to generate countless page views which don't help the news organization that paid for those photos in the first place. In fact many times there's not even any attribution.<p>Also it's not just reddit that does this but in the early days of Wikipedia many entries were scraped together by copying-and-pasting content from other websites without any permission. There are also sites like Pinterest which seem to exist to just swipe photos from other websites.
