Simple. Sue.

  ...but honestly? I mean, I'm not earning advertising money from the blog, so it's going to be hard to show any kind of damages. Really, the only thing being broken is some sort of journalistic ethic here, and I figure there must be some kind of body that hears these kinds of complaints outside of a courtroom. EDIT: well - okay, but what does one sue for in a case like this?

  Sue them for what? As far as I can tell, there's no copyright violation here. edit: worth pointing out, I think what they did was unethical, but not illegal.

    That's kindof where I am... it was unethical, but I don't really know what is illegal about what they did. However, I want to believe the courts aren't the only place where something like this gets sorted out. When someone does something unethical, there is usually some group that will hear about it. Academics are somewhat self-policing, and all sorts of ethical issues result in some form of justice being meted out. Journalists seem like they're in the same boat, but journalism isn't my domain of expertise...
