Do you have a contract governing your website, or know why this is my #1 piece of advice for protecting your site from copycats? How can people use the content on your site? How much have you limited your liability for any disputes arising from your site- no limit, or $50? Terms and Conditions are one of the foundational elements of your website- it’s a contract between you and the user of your site. While not a federal requirement, I make sure all of my clients have a Terms and Conditions on their website, along with a privacy policy.
