Amended 3.30pm: Is Mail Online ever going to put its house in order? Does it care about plagiarism? Has its editor, Martin Clarke, ever explained the meaning of common journalistic courtesy - let alone copyright - to his staff?
I ask these questions against the background of yet another blatant rip-off by the Daily Mail's website. But this blogpost has been amended to put that attack on the Mail into context.
It involves an exclusive interview with Nelson Mandela's eldest daughter, Maki (Makaziwe Mandela-Amuah), which was obtained by freelance Sharon Feinstein and published by the Sunday Mirror yesterday.
Feinstein, a long-standing freelancer with a terrific track record in interview scoops, was astonished when a friend called to tell her that her interview was being run by Mail Online.
There is a dispute about the facts here. It is agreed by both Feinstein and the Mail that she was not credited.

Updated 11.45am: John Hiscock, the veteran Los Angeles freelancer, was outraged when MailOnline published an interview he had written, on a exclusive basis, for the Daily Mirror.
After some 40 years based in Santa Monica, plus several years on national papers in Britain before that, he knows all about Fleet Street competition, and how it leads to editors "ripping off" - to use the jargon - rivals' scoops.
Similarly, he is also aware, in these digital days, that no story is exclusive for long.
Even so, he was amazed to see how Mail Online treated his interview with Emma Thompson that was published in the Mirror on Friday (15 November).
She revealed to Hiscock that 45 years ago an elderly magician hired by her parents for her eighth birthday party kissed her inappropriately. She explained that the experience had affected her so strongly that it prompted her to write a handbook on sex...

✒Steady on, Rog! Former Observer editor Roger Alton, now executive editor of the Times, writes on sport for the Spectator, but had to get something off his chest in his latest column before discussing Tiger Woods's strokeplay. Yes, it was the 2am deal on press regulation, in which "a malign conspiracy of sanctimonious do-gooders, vengeful politicians, hypocritical celebrities and hatchet-faced lefties has brought about the biggest threat to press freedom since Uncle Adolf started on his European adventures". Phew! Even the Sun's Trevor Kavanagh, News International's other ambassador to the non-Murdoch media, doesn't bring out the Uncle Adolf card in his comments on "what may be our death warrant" in a diary elsewhere in the same issue.
✒Meanwhile the heart of this malign neo-totalitarian conspiracy, the Hacked Off campaign group, were beginning to look more like comic bunglers devised by Armando Iannucci. Hugh Grant, their celebrity advocate, has lightly...
