Copyscape

You can check other peoples sites as well then?

It doesn't check that you own the site - you just type in an URL and it checks for copies

Caught red handed then? :teeth:

I have given Keith Royal approval to use what he has, don't worry.

Ta! - But, yes, someone did post this up recently and I did do a check then. (BTW, great minds think alike, 'cos I did a check on your home page for you as well!!

Sort of, we kissed and made up a while ago though.

Metaphorically speaking of course

Yeah.. great site...!!

I recently found someone borrowing from my website.. they have made an attempt to change it (so I probably can't do anything about it...) but I can still tell that it's taken from my site.. I can tell because I used very specific wording at certain points in my FAQ some of which has ended up on HIS website, which I found through the directory on this forum. I even used the 'old' "Cheap entertainment is seldom good... quality entertainment is priceless" tagline at the end.. (which I don't claim to have written as it has been used on sooo many websites)... this other person did too in the same section of his FAQ. This member is fairly local to me so I'm hoping he does the decent thing and rethinks his FAQ... he WILL know who he is too.....

To be fair, do you think your competitor is actually gaining a commercial advantage taking work off you that otherwise you would have got?

Otherwise I would accept this as a compliment that people have to copy YOU because your site is so good and they dont have any good ideas of their own.

But I can understand its annoying--however copying seems to be a product of the Internet and its costly to start enforcing copyright I imagine--Wolfie will know!

WOW!!! What can I say.... I hadnt heard of Copyscape until I joined this forum but I just tried it on two of my websites.

One site came up with two sites it believed had copied text from my website. One of them was 5% and it may have been copied. The other came up as a 100% copy !!!

..... then again it should have.... it was a mirror of my website on my original BTInternet URL before I got a domain name.

My other website that I checked found a page which was a 69% copy.... again is was an old mirror on my BTInternet account from before the site was split into two domain names but I am just blown away by how quickly the results came back.
