The Conference Board story generates mainstream media coverage yet again today, but missing from those stories was a private apology (scroll to comments) from CEO Anne Golden to Curtis Cook, who was wrongly listed as an author of the plagiarized report.

CBoC made Mr. Curtis Cooks look like Mr. Wayne Crookes
Curtis Cook should sue them and go for as much as possible.
I’m surprised no one else said this.
But I bet many sure as heck thought it.
Imagine if one of us regular folk put out a “funded”, plagiarized and made up paper (or blog) then put Wayne Crooks Name on it (or Anne Goldens)?

If people can be sued for merely posting a link, then Mr. Curtis can make a killing here.
Wonder how many people read this reports with Mr. Curtis’ name on it.
I wonder how loud the “funder” laughed at this.
Full public distribution of made-up rubbish with Mr. Curtis’ name on it.
No full apology.
How sweet.
P2Pnet has been sued for less (or “funders” have tried).
But I guess regular non-funded people don’t have this type of opportunity.
