Last year I came across one of my photos on someone else's site that they had nicked without asking and didn't make a big deal of it. It's still there incidentally, a lovely picture of some friends from the UK canoeing
Then by chance today I came across a site that had 'borrowed' a lot of the text for our gites for their own properties, in great chunks. I was surprised - it's not great text, just stuff about painting in the garden and so on. I ended up doing a google search on a whole phrase from the text, in google. The text had been used by more than one other person, and in several different ads - altogether more than 30 times in google that didn't relate to our property. All I want to know is - is this a record?
Cheers
