New York Observer: Business Insider removed several posts from its site after the author of a new biography on Elon Musk complained that the site was mining his book for blog posts. “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,” by Bloomberg Businessweek technology reporter Ashlee Vance, became the source for many BI stories about the eccentric tech billionaire. Although the practice of pulling juicy material from a book or longer article and making a story out of it isn’t unique to BI, the number of stories that originated in Vance’s book was notable. “They were serializing the book in lots of little posts,” Vance said.
