One of my FaceBook friends re-posted this article today (you can click past the popup advert).
It's important that everyone with a website should read it and follow the results as they unfold.
Creating content for your website MUST be from you and your business, not pinched from someone else's site. That's an infringement of copyright. The Internet is NOT in a copyright free bubble and writers have as much ownership over their words (and images) as if they were in a printed publication.
That doesn't mean to say you can never use others text and articles.
There are plenty of resources where writers are happy for you to use their work provided that you credit them accordingly and include any web links that they ask for.
Try this one for example http://www.ezinearticles.com/
And for images http://www.istockphoto.com/
So there is no excuse.
The other side of this is that you must protect your own work online by ensuring that it clearly says the content of your web site or blog is your copyright. That way you have at least a fighting chance of protecting it.
