They copied from me! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I went to check on the suspected site this afternoon & they have removed my contents & picture.

I have updated my site w/copyright marks on all the pages & hopefully something like this won't happen again. Now, when I have some free time, I'll have to watermark all my personal photos on the site. It will give me an opportunity to update some photos as well.

Thank you again for all your support through this ordeal, really appreciate you all being here for me!

xoxo

I printed up some fliers and did not think of watermarking my pictures-mistake on my part. I will definitely not forget to do it again.

Good luck with it all.

Hi Bo, I never thought something like this would happen, so watermarking your pictures is a good idea. You never know who will want to use your pictures...Hot Rod & Maggie May are hot models. xoxo

Sorry you had to deal with this. I have a school website and was told to be sure to put a copyright at the bottom of the page. I am also working on my masters in educ technology. We had to take a web design class. Here is a link to one of the sites we had to read about. It is the US Copyright office. Don't know if it will help but thought I would share.

No advice, just wanted to say I am sorry this happened to you. I had it happen to me 3x by 3 different people last summer. The worst was one of them was a customer, was still buying items from me, and was selling her own bows, with my item descriptions-VERBATIM. It's a very bad feeling!

I'm so relieved for you that these people responded quickly and removed your info from their site.

Wow, that's great that they responded so quickly! At least they didn't put up a fight.

Update on the suspected site: They have removed my picture & only parts of my wording/description of brushes. I don't think they quite understand that they are still using my contents w/out permission.

I have contacted them again & told them to remove it asap.

This is from my site which they have copied & pasted before:

BLUE & GREEN are very soft. They have the softest cushion, best for sensitive skin. Best for Yorkshire Terriers w/silky hair.

BABY BLUE, ORANGE, & PINK are soft, great for both silky & cottony coats, ideal for everyday use. These are slightly firmer than the very soft. Best for breeds like Biewers & Maltese w/silky hair. Yorkies w/silky or cottony hair.

RED & PURPLE are medium soft, good for thicker hair & recommended for everyday grooming. Best for breeds like Biewers, Maltese & Yorkies w/cottony thicker hair, LH Chihuahua & Japanese Chin.

BLACK is standard soft for denser hair. Also great for long haired cats. Best for breeds like Havanese, Shih Tzu, Pekingese, Pomeranians, Poodles & any other breeds w/long growing curly or double coat. If your Malt or Yorkie (or any other single coated breed) tolerates brushing, this brush is also great for brushing out tangles, along w/the small & oblong brush.

BLACK w/RED cushion is firm, best for removing undercoat & heavier coarse hair. Best for breeds like Afghan Hound, Chow Chow, Old English Sheep Dog.

This is what they have now:

Blue and Green are very soft. They have the softest cushion...great for dogs with sensitive skin. Best for dogs with silky hair.

Baby Blue, Orange and Pink are soft, great for both silky and cottony coats. Ideal for everyday use, these are slightly firmer than the very soft brush.

Red and Purple are medium soft, good for thicker hair and recommended for everyday grooming.

Black is standard soft for denser hair, for long hair cats or breeds like havanese, shih Tzu, Pekingese, Pomeranians, Poodles or any breed with long, growing cuurly or double coat. Also great for brushing out tangles.

Black w/ Red cusion is firm, best for removing undercoat and heavier coarse hair.

They removed a few words, but they're still my words, verbatim from my site.
