To Summarize The Paragraph In To 2 Or 3 Sentence?


Fanning incorporated Snocap two weeks after the Supreme Court forced Napster into bankruptcy in September 2002 for facilitating copyright infringement. (Roxio bought the Napster name, and Fanning is no longer affiliated with it.) The June Supreme Court decision holding companies liable for illegal file sharing by their users suddenly gave the recording industry more negotiating leverage with illegal file-sharing services. And with more listeners eager to find legal ways to download music, Snocap offers a viable alternative. Snocap’s challenge is to help music providers offer file swapping without the viruses prevalent on illegal sites, so customers would pay. Compared with online music stores, peer-to-peer services still attract the most users–by some accounts, 60 million people in the U.S. “That’s about the number who voted for George Bush!” said Sam Yagan, president of MetaMachine Inc., the company behind eDonkey, a free peer-to-peer site.

Citing A Copyright Of Another Company On Your Site?


Hello! I work for DarKear Services International, an internet company that is creating a website for MYeBayPro, a company that will setup a retail establishments’ eBay store, paypal account, and everything else needed for selling their inventory on eBay.
Since eBay (both the name and logo) is on the website, and in the name, clearly they are a threat to being sued by eBay for infringement (along with PayPal, i suppose…).
How can I “cite” their copyrights on the site? Here is what I have so far in the foot-note, including our footnote of copyright and ownership:
Site content and design copyright (c) 2011 by DarKear Services International, in association with MYeBayPro. This site, in part or in whole, may not be copied without owner and editor consent. All documents (including, but not limited to: images, powerpoints, keynotes, etc.) are of the sole ownership of MYeBayPro.com. All documents are for personal use only, not to be sold or copied elsewhere. www.darkearservices.com
eBay is copyright by eBay Corp. All rights reserved. www.ebay.com. No copyright infringement is intended. Visit http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/copyrigh… for more information. All logos and images belonging to eBay are property thereof; MYeBayPro is not in any way affiliated with eBay, nor does MYeBayPro intent to, or therefore, infringe upon the rights of, and/or property of, eBay Corp.
See it on the site at myebaypro.com
Can we still get in trouble? What else should be in there?

Is This Considered Copyright Infringement?


I did a website layout for an organization that my organization was affiliated with. I did an initial layout for them in 2008 and had no issues. They requested changes to the website layout which involved me having to redo the site (old HTML style). They got the bill and voted to only pay half of it. After 2 months without any payment I took the new site down. They requested the 2008 site be put back up until they paid. 3 months after the original invoice due date a check for half the invoice amount was paid. I tried to put the new site back up but they locked me out and said they were taking over the site from there. I recently checked back with the site and they used my design, words/content, and replaced Designed By: Myself with Designed By Their Committee. Clearly they ONLY changed the header, but based off my original idea. Is this grounds for copyright infringement? Can I take legal action? If so, what do I do?
