    Copyright help (am I gonna get my ass screwed)

    I copied some search engine text from another site (a page of words same color as the background) now they are claiming that they are going to take legal action!

    This is what's on the homepage of his site:

                      If I was them, I'd contact you saying I'd take legal action, then I'd consult a laywer. There's exact copying and then there's creative solutions such as using the text for an idea and writing your own.

                                  Now this is interesting...
                                  As I see it, they could take action, however the only way I can see it worth there time is that they can prove without a reasonable doubt in court that your actions caused a financial loss.

                                  What I mean is that they could have a case IF the text you "borrowed" and put on your site, bumped them out of position in the SE's, thus causing loss of profits. But there are so many variables to consider. Unless there is serious financial loss on there end by "your actions", I do not think they would pursue this in a court of law.

                                  Just my

                                  Good luck

                                          Don't need the copyright notice to be copyright.

                                                              I'd take it down immediately, then reply to them and kiss their ass. If it's nothing too major, they'd probably just let it go.
