Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Dear Mrs. Wendy, > Whilst I'm still at the computer can I ask you a question about my > website?

Although the short answer is " No " there *ARE* some steps you can take to make the situation *better*. For one thing you don't have a copyright statement on the bottom of your pages. This is not Indra's Thunderbolt, but it does help to invite jackals when one the statement is not absent. Second, when you notice a piracy, you can have me contact a person at the offending website and write a friendly letter asking that since they clearly copied and pasted the content, they should please include a link to the source material as a credit. And mention in the friendly letter that you " like " them and are sympathetic to their cause, therefore you don't want to bring in your lawyer on a plagiarism and copyright issue. This is basically a scare tactic to make the most of a bad inherent situation. By the way I'm offering to take all your existing content and create a new layout, organization, and navigation for it if you'd like.
