Competitor from round the corner has cut and pasted from my website

[saintlydamemrsturnip]

I am outraged! Not too worried about competition - they specialise in a different area than me and anyway I have more than enough work at the moment but the cheek! They are literally a mile away. Why wouldn't you cut and paste from someone the other end of the country if you're going to do that?

I am concerned about people searching thinking I've cut and pasted from them (or that we've all cut and pasted from somewhere).

I won my website Terms and Conditions in a business competition so I've emailed them the 'intellectual property' section and requested that they change their website within 7 days.

:married to a lawyer:

Ha! You should talk to Justine@MNHQ about passing off!

Remember christianmumsnet? I still have the screengrabs!

oooh no I missed that! (how??) Sounds interesting!

I cannot understand why someone would do it when I'm just around the corner. Honestly - how lazy. All they've done is cut my priced (except they haven't as they've put 'from' ). Whereas I dish out discounts when asked :preen: (and if I did it at their starting price wouldn't make a profit so I think their actual price must be higher).

People are lazy.

And stupid! I cannot get over copying from the nearest competition.

Well they haven't changed it yet.

They are so daft that they have copied a paragraph offering a then in the list of services below have removed that particular service (everything else identical).

I wish they would just bloody change it - they don't have a leg to stand on but I really don't want to get into a dispute with someone in the next street.
