We were alerted to the video by commenter oi mate, which has completely taken the article we wrote and used some kind of text-to-speech software, threw in some lovely images and created a YouTube video with out content, word for word.
Look – we love doing what we do as there’s nothing more rewarding than to bring you stories, hands-on articles and random things of interest that the Internet has to offer. But it’s totally not cool to rip off our content, throw it into a YouTube video and hope it becomes something popular enough where you could get paid for it. So, YouTube user “TechArena7,” expect to be hearing from Google very soon.
If you’re aware of any other content of ours making its way to YouTube in a similar fashion, please let us know either in the comments section below or via our contact email address.
Update: the video which was hosted here, has been taken down by the user in question
