COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

What is Website Copyright Infringement?

Copyright law protects original creative work. When you take someone's work, that act can be copyright infringement. On a website, creative works can include:

• The words used (text).

• The graphics and images used.

• The data present.

• The HTML code, other code, and scripts (and if you believe "Public Citizen's" lawyers, you'll likely get a rude awakening one day from following their "legal advice".)

What Are The Risks?

You cannot get away with these excuses:

• My programmer did it!

• I didn't know it I couldn't use it!

• I have a corporation and you cannot get blood from a turnip!

• You didn't have a registered copyright (despite what you may have heard from Public Citizen's latest "legal advice").

The bottom line is that if your copyright work (registration is not necessary since your rights to the work arise at the time of creation) is being stolen, you have a number of options. More than ever before, bloggers, website owners, affiliate marketers, and user generated content developers are stealing content. As copyright lawyers Dozier Internet Law can have the entire infringing website removed from the web without expensive litigation. Significant damages can be obtained when copyright infringement occurs. Deciding how to proceed is the critical issue.

At Dozier Internet Law we know the options, the anticipated steps the infringer may take to continue with its theft, and the economic and practical considerations. We know what to do and how to get the results you need quickly. We are the lawyers who issue cease and desist demands in a number of forms, file suits against the infringers, get websites pulled down without notice, get competitors blacklisted from search engine advertising and organic indexed results, and provide assistance and guidance throughout the entire process of protecting your valuable creative work. Copyright infringement is a huge part of our practice at Dozier Internet Law.
