PASSING OFF / PLAGIARISM
We take a very dim view of
individuals and organisations who copy our work and then attempt to
"pass off" OUR work as their own! Not only is this unlawful (CDPA
1988), but it makes the person who did it look extremely foolish when
we find out. If we come accross this kind of abuse we shall not
hesitate to enforce our intelectual property rights in accordance with
UK and international law. This may include issuing proceedings in the
civil courts to recover our reasonable damages. Web pages aren't just
the words that you see in the browser. HTML and CSS code as well as
images count as published content. You have no right to help yourself
to images and code without our permission. You can conceive of the
hours, weeks, and years of diligent research and skill that go into
developing an idea, you would doubtlessly not like to have somebody
steal that work from you and claim it as their own! Copyright
infringement is plagiarism. If you want to use our work, just ask us -
you might be surprised at our friendly and helpful response...

may do this without asking us although if you do tell us, we shall be
happy to reciprocate by placing a link to YOUR website on our Links
