I would also like to add that the list of urls you posted contains articles that belong to Kukuruku and are not translations.

You are definitely on the wrong side of the derived works line here, and if your articles are not easily identified as yours that is because in my mind that only means the source has been obfuscated enough that I can't easily trace them like you do with the other stuff found on your site, but you're going to have a hard time convincing me they are original now. If you do not have an agreement with the original source of these articles then you are in breach of copyright law. That may be a conscious decision on your part though. I would definitely support a ban in this case but at the same time I think there is a need for properly accredited translations (good ones, not crappy ones like these where according to one of the authors lots of nuance got lost) of good content found on non English language websites. Maybe this is something the people behind Hacker News Magazine could look into, they seem to have the right attitude when it comes to re-using content.

  We are not going to convince anyone. From now on we specify the source if the content is taken from other resource. That was our fault and I agree with that. Please, don't spread rumors. What crappy translations are you specifically talking about ?

    See comment by real author of copied content displayed on your website in earlier thread. Suggestion: do not just take content, ask for permission and as long as you don't have that permission remove the content that you took without.

      Ok, we'll try to get the permission from real authors by manual research on how to get in touch with them. Fair enough.

        It's not simply about getting permission, it is also about prominently attributing credit to the original author.

        right, we'll be adding their name.
