New rule for content thieves

Posted by Wildfire Marketing Group

We can’t even begin to tell you how many people we find each day that have outright stolen our website copy, and sometimes even the entire design. While this is normally pretty shady, it’s even worse when the party in question is another design firm.

If you’re presenting your company as one that creates original ideas, you should actually put in the leg work and CREATE ORIGINAL IDEAS, after all, that’s what your being paid for.

Tracking these people down, filing DCMA take-down complaints with the hosting company and initiating any necessary legal action quickly becomes time consuming and costly, so we think we’ve come up with a better solution. We are considering taking these thieves to the public, by posting the details along with a screenshot on our blog. Maybe over time, people will realize that the risk just isn’t worth the reward – especially when the information about their illegal actions outranks their own website.

What do you all think?
