A respected automotive industry pub, "rewrote" one of my NY Times articles last week. It wasn't word for word, but it was close with a few additions and some paraphrasing. Not even worth complaining. They wouldn't give a hoot: They know I have no recourse. And there's nothing to be gained on my end. In fact, it would be bridge burning, in that I might want to write for them someday.
