It's so easy to copy - so don't do it

The world wide web has made so much material availabe - and in writing - that copying is the easiest thing. It's also still a breach of copyright. Bizarrely we discovered that the home page of our website was reproduced word for word on another firm's site. Should we sue? Nah. We want to keep our site fresh, so we have moved ours on, and told the other firm. To be fair, they may not be responsible for the wording - it may have come from another source, such as a PR company writing their material - but they would still be liable if their wording went up second. Of course it is also possible that theirs went up first, since this particular wording was offered to us as original material. Our lesson - we will write our own material...
