Default Re: Anyway to figure out if someone copied of another website?

Even if you could prove it, it'll be a hard case to win. "Fair Use" is currently a hot topic and the courts have been very lenient on giving fair use rights. I'm not saying the client doesn't have a right to protect their work, images, IP, but that if they put it on the net it's hard to win a case unless they have taken major steps in advance. As was covered earlier, watermarking, with strong language and copyright notices and registration is the best you can hope for.

The cases against Perez Hilton may change the landscape if X17 wins.
