Internet fights are a dime-a-dozen, and almost always, unless there is a youtube video, we're not interested. But this internet fight is the exception, because it concerns two pretty big players in the videogame "journalism" field and Street Fighter 4.
Here's the story: 1up, the website for Electronic Games Monthly, showed off a single screen shot from Capcom's Streetfighter 4 along with the message that tons of exclusive info about the game would be included in the next issue of their print magazine.
It only took a few days for EGM's "exclusive" screenshots to show up on someone elses' website and become non-exclusive. So EGM's owners, Ziff Davis, decide to send the Brazilian site that leaked the pics a cease and desist letter, you know, like you'd expect them to. the gaming blog kotaku gets wind of the story and frames it like "Massive corporation picks on the little guy with a blog! ZOMG!"
EGM answers with the news that the owner of the Brazillian site was a (no doubt former) EGM freelancer who basically stole the images and details and posted them on his own site. That's maybe illegal, definitely unethical, and really, really stupid.
