The New York Times Allegedly Stole Another Newspaper's Story (NYT)

The New York Times posted an article called "Death and Football" for download on its website, in connection with a Times story this weekend about the author of "Death and Football," Clark Booth.The problem is, "Death and Football" isn't a New York Times article — it was published in a newspaper called the Real Paper in 1976, and the copyright is now owned by Village Voice Media alt-weekly the Boston Phoenix, Phoenix editor Carly Carioli wrote today.But the Times photocopied and posted the article online regardless, which Carioli claims is a blatant violation of the Phoenix's copyright.If these allegations are true, they would be ironic in light of the pro-SOPA and pro-copyright columns by Bill Keller and Cary Sherman the Times has published in the last few days.As of now, "Death and Football" remains online. We've reached out to the Times for comment and will update accordingly.Please follow SAI: Media on Twitter and Facebook.Join the conversation about this story »See Also:The New York Times Company Lost $39.7 Million In 2011The Incredible Shrinking New York TimesROBERT REICH: Obama Has Handed The Election Over To The Super Rich
