Be An Innovator Not An Imitator!!!

MERCY, ME OH MY! I have had quite a day! My webmaster informed me that we have a "copy-cat" website out on the web. Oui Vey! I will spare you all the details, but we made friends with another person in the industry. We gave them advice and guidance on how we got started in the Event Planning Industry...etc...They were quite naive to the business and just getting their feet wet, so our natural tendency was to lend an ear and give advice. Not only were certain works of ours copied, but even our advertisements that we pay good money for, were robbed of their uniqueness.

I am not saying EBTT will not help and advise again, but we will be sure to confront these "creative copy cats" up front, from now on. Of course, there are some works that cannot be copyrighted, but this was BLATANT plagiarism at it's best! I guess we should be flattered, if the good Lord says so... ;) But the human side of me said we should nip this in the bud. So, nip it in the bud, we did! I feel better that we addressed the situation and now it is up to the other party to adhere, which we are trusting they will! SIGH...
