Plagiarism of websites on the rise

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

Carrie-Ann Skinner, writing about a report by FastHosts, noted:

According to research by the web hosting firm, there has been an 89 percent increase in the number of complaints about website material such as text, artwork and product images that has been used by other companies on their websites since April 2008.
Fasthosts also said that 39 percent of website owners suffer from 'website envy' meaning they are envious of a website belonging to a close competitor.
