it's right because people use itbut some would say the "of" is redundant and disrupts the flow of the sentence.

actually"from" would be more correct
"taken off b3ta.com without permission" would be even better, although that raises the issues of the internet being public domain.
in fairness, from the articles i've seen posted on here they always reference b3ta, and
often reference the posters, so the problem's not the same as it was with emap/bauer since they went out of their way to remove the tags etc.
EDIT: wait a minute, what the fuck am i doing playing devil's advocate to the scum??? fuck em up!!!!

if we followed that ruleWe'd be no better than the Americans
There are conventions in written English which are followed for a reason by a, sadly, diminishing minority. In a matter such as this, it is more effective to use proper English than colloquial English.
