Is there a 'no win, no fee' company that could take this on? There's the mental trauma, obviously. Then there's the loss of earnings, time taken to moan about it and the cost of replacing a pair of socks that somehow got damaged.</p> <p>Obviously it would be a principle I would be defending.

Do you think I can sue? </p> <p>I've seen a few News Biscuit FPs on other blogs, but when they credit the original writer and link back the site, I doubt anyone would complain.</p> <p>But copying and pasting and claiming it for your own? I bet they cheated at their GCSEs too.

A vicar was nicking a lot of our stuff and posting it on his parish blog as his own.<br /> A few comments made below his plagiarism, and he took the whole lot down.</p> <p>I don't think people realise that these stories are covered by exactly the same Intellectual Property laws and remedies as printed works. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48131#post-138445 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 18:22:14 +0000 Perks 138445@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Not just them.
