Hello all, Couple of questions that i need expert opinions on please. I have a site where i would like to list software titles/books/tools etc... What i want to know, if i go to a site and see a usefull "item" can i use the description they use or do i have to reword it. This, lets say has no copyright/legal notice or anything like that can i use there "words" ? Thanks for looking, Stevie.
in the far majority of cases you cannot legally do this. lots of people do it, but that doesn't mean it's legal. a copyright notice isn't required to hold a copyright on your IP.
Disgust is right... they don't have to put a copyright notice to have their descriptions protected. Just write your own, or hire someone to do it for you, to be safe.
