Copyright & Trademark for Blogs and Domain Names

Many bloggers and webpage designers have questions about trademarks and copyrights. I found a great resource that answers the following questions frequently asked about blogs and websites:

  • When can I copy from another website?
  • Can I use images from someone else’s blog?
  • Someone is using my website images, text, or domain name. What can I do about it?
  • What are improper ways to compete with other websites?
  • If a website doesn’t use a trademark or copyright symbol, does that matter?
  • If I give credit to someone, can I copy their stuff?
  • And much more.

One of the most useful aspects of this guide is it addresses many of the “myths” believed by bloggers and web designers. You can quickly scan the page for the myths and read the answer if you are curious about the topic. To get answers to many frequently asked questions regarding copyright and trademark, visit this valuable resource prepared by attorneys: Intellectual Property Law Primer for Multimedia and Web Developers.

If you have questions not covered by this guide, feel free to leave them in the comments here.

If you need to complain to Google to have content removed, see this example of a Google removal letter. See also Google DMCA, Google Cease and Desist, Google Legal Phone and Address.
