Which reminds me. I recently met with a client to review the content they came up with for their website.
First, she hands me a sheet of paper, and tells me it is for the home page. Okay, I guess I can retype this, it's not too long.
Next, she pulls out a sheaf of paper for the products page. It's a printout of a competitor's website. She crosses out the pictures, and a couple of paragraphs, and says "Here, just use this."
"But that's your competitor's. And it's copyrighted content. We can't use it."
Client sits for a second, looks down at the paper, and back up at me. "Sure we can, it doesn't have their company name or anything in the text."
I point down at the footer of the website she printed out. "No, you really can't. It even says so down there. '© 2008 XYZ Corp. All rights reserved.' That means they don't want anyone to use it."
She gives me a blank stare for ten full seconds. "I don't understand."
I end up taking the content as she provided it to me. Whatever.
- there a short paragraph that you should add to you T&C mentioning that you won't be liable for any contents.. Ta-da!maikel
