I was reading through Gator Host blog just now and a particular article caught my sight. A particular Web Hoster, Host Garoo, is causing quite a storm in the Web Hosting market. No it’s not because of the extremely low price with good add-ons, it’s the design of the whole website and not to mention their package.

If you were to glance at the website, you’d see a staggering similarity of Host Garoo and Host Gator. Even their web hosting package has the same names and almost the same details on them. It’s pure plagiarism!

Don’t they ever check the meaning of the words plagiarism and copyrights act? They could be sued and.. well perhaps Host Gator should take advantage of it, they could earn millions with just the legal actions undertaken.

Seriously, if they ever want to borrow an idea, they should at least do some changes to it. Even the designs of website and the affiliation rewards are the same. What a joke! Did I mention that Host Garoo is owned by a UK company and the logo from the Down Under is nowhere near where the highlanders roam?

Nevertheless, plagiarism is a big threat to the world. Businesses could lose millions to a competitor who uses the same design and product and writers could lose their hard earned title and steady pay check from these copy cats.

Which is why I always have a Terms and Conditions page which can be found in Advertisers Read Me category. NO point of working so hard only to have it copied and someone else gets all the credit.
