Isle of Wight Guru's Ever So Polite Advice For Plagiarists
Hello, dear reader.
Over the years, we've seen a few occasions where other websites (including a national newspaper) have 'adapted' our work and presented it to the world as their own.
Whilst this is very flattering, it is also illegal and it tends to ruin my day when I'd really rather be playing Minecraft with the kids or investigating the unwanted stench coming from our drains.
Might I recommend this lovely listicle which explains that "if you simply adapt the work of others, it will still be their work...(and they are)...entitled to reclaim any money you make from selling their work."
If you'd like further reading, then the UK Government provides some wonderful short courses on Intellectual Property.
Of course, if you like something that we've written then please share it, credit us and link to the original article. Or get in touch and perhaps we could write something for you?
Thanks ever so, have a great day.
