Years ago, someone actually copied my “About Us” web page. I never knew there was someone else out there with the same history.

Even today, someone has taken my domain name, flipped the words in opposite order. I think mine is more natural to type so I’m thinking people could be going to my site instead of his. I guess they could not think of something original.

And finally someone notices this happens – this isn’t any new – ha ha – all I can say is “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and always remember “In a world full of copycats, be an original” – I have had these 2 posters in my office since the 80′s.

What an excellent post, and as a 30 year veteran DJ of the wedding industry have seen this all to often. My company was the only one in Canada with the word REQUEST in its title in any category until the last 7-8 years. Now there are numerous and one in my local market that copied the entire name except changed Hear to At…your request. It cost me some money but they were shut down through legal avenues. Keep up the great work and thanks for calling a spade a spade! (I borrowed that LOL)

We actually found another DJ in our area that copied our website verbatim. A full copy and paste. When we contacted them they denied it until I pointed out I found a spelling mistake on my website that was even there on his.

You are correct, immediately they claimed their web designer wrote it. It is sad in a industry that is supposedly creative, there is so much plagiarism.

Also as an interactive DJ, we have a skit that some DJ’s also do, but came across a guy a couple of years back that obviously videotaped our show because the script he used was identical. Thing is they claim it is theirs.

What I find is the most frustrating is if they just asked me, I would happily assist them in making it their own.

Wow! Good thing that person was fired for plagerizing. That’s what should happen.
I am not surprised, being a creative person myself I know first hand how you have to watch out for people who have no boundaries and are more than happy to steal from others. Some people have no shame or class. Great blog post!

The above was to be funny… however I want to applaud you for this article. Outstanding! I have had pages of text ripped off from my website countless times. I have had EVERY wedding DJ in my market shop me by phone and email, and recently at a bridal show I had someone over hear another DJ at his booth say to a bride…. We do the something they do, just cheaper. BTW, I recently bought out the other DJ Company and closed them down…
