It seems today these same people have been rummaging around our clients website….

I have no idea what they are up to at the moment – but they can be sure if they even come close to breaching copyright again, all hell will break loose and the original threats we made will be carried out.

I was tempted previously to say who it was – as no apology was forthcoming but let it be…

Now, frankly I, and Paul and Sally are getting a little pi**ed off with this… So, here’s the culprit – they are Swan Charter Gran Canaria http://www.nautorswan.se

If this whole incident is an indication of their level of professionalism, courtesy, respect for other and respect for the law I would strongly suggest not doing business with them – I am sure their are plenty of REPUTABLE and PROFESSIONAL yacht charter companies in Gran Canaria you might use instead.

So when you read this, please heed the warnings, and my client is still waiting for an apology for your unprofessional and illegal behaviour.

Rafa – always worth reading the terms and conditions of the sites on which people like the one you described post and reporting them if they are in breach.

I will drop you an email later today with the website I talked about in a previous post – http://www.lanzarotewebdesign.com/theft-of-copyright-content/ – so you can keep an eye on them. Like our Canary Nightlife site, your sites are just the type of thing they will steal from…

It´s difficult to solve. I have the name @lanzarote in Tweeter and now there is somebody recently with the name @lanzarote_ and he is using the copyrighted Lanzarote logo in its account too, incredible!
Good luck and congratulations for your good job.

I’m constantly amazed at the numbers of people who claim that theft isn’t theft if it’s taken from the Internet. I’ve even found people linking to my photos, so that I’m still paying the bandwidth. At least it made it easy to remove the photo from their site.

I could not believe that all the hard work and hours spent on our website by you and ourselves could be copied by someone so quickly and without thought. So glad that you were able to deal with it promptly and effectively.

What a cheek, too lazy to make their own website!
