Worried About Being Accused Of Copying A Site?
John asks: I’m an SBI owner and have a travel/destination site and now want to build a product review site. Reverse engineering makes perfect sense to me and my only problem is how to avoid “copying” the site.
I’m not talking blatant cut and paste but the more subtle grey areas. Suppose I wanted to do a vacuum review site (I don’t, just an example) then a review of SuperDuper123 will be very similar as its major plusses and minuses are the same, the keywords will be the same etc.
Is it all down to voice etc. or have I missed something? I would hate to reverse a site then be accused of cheating or am I’m being over cautious?
