I'm all for making reading easier on us by condensing it.
But this article takes their (rediff.com) entire post, posts it in full and never gives them credit.
Why isn't this plagiarism?

However, I have another complaint. Why a plain text file? I don't want to have to download some bloated reader just to read this thing. Can someone print to pdf and upload it to something sensible like scribd?
Does your browser not render plain text?
Plagiarism is when you try to pass off someone else's work as your own.
I think what you really mean is "Why isn't this copyright violation?" The answer to that is that I did not in fact "take their entire post and post it in full." (Did you even compare the articles?) I cut out everything rediff wrote, leaving only Larry Page's quotes. Arguably they could claim they have a copyright on the selection and ordering of the quotes, but that is a pretty weak claim.
though pg should have posted source link with his note, i dont think that even rediff.com is the copyright owner - to what i understand pg did it in the good faith to help HN readers and that's what it matters ...
So, who is being plagiarized?
