Protecting Your Marketing Morals and Ethics
Morals and Ethics is something that me and Owner of WickedFire Jon Fisher had a long talk about basically its guidelines but its not law. Law however is something that you definitely have to protect yourself from. Right from Wrong could be a grayscale area when marketing but if you believe in Karma like I do, it's just not worth it. Below is a post I found about somebody getting sued soon. Check it out...
"Hey guys,
so I have been reading a lot about autoblogs/SEO/wordpress lately. I decided to start my own autoblog and it went well after a month, getting around 1 buck a day. I decided to make more.
However, I received a letter yesterday from a laywer for company X, which states that I have posted their images and articles, which are copyright protected, on my website, which is true.
I am still a little bit shocked, I have never been in this type of situation before. I have not talked to a laywer yet. The fees for the laywer that I have to pay is 1300€, which is about 1800 USD.
I am not too sure what to do now, but I'll definitely consult a lawyer on monday.
Just my heads to you guys. Be careful when you set your plugin to autopost from certain websites. Or use a plugin that rewrites articles!
btw FML"
