> how about Wikipedia's "no original research" policy? DemandMedia supposedly pays their authors for writing the pieces - which supposedly means original content.

I think you're equivocating over 'original' here. On Wikipedia, it means that everything you write is either directly sourced to another work or basic connective prose and obvious trivial inferences; it's a matter of citations and verification. With DemandMedia it simply means that the prose hasn't appeared elsewhere.
