Duplicate content

You will have noticed that some of the sites in the challenge include content from either Wikipedia or from ezine article sites.

The use of this material is permitted as long as the rules and regulations are followed precisely. However, I have been particlularly concerned about Wikipedia material as the authors of Wikipedia articles could be submitting copyrighted material that they do not own the copyright to, and I would never know. It appears to be less likely with ezine articles, as the author is usually easier to trace through websites associated with the articles, but the risk is still there with ezine articles as well.

As a precaution, over the last few weeks, I have been removing Wikipedia material from my minisite challenge sites and from one other site, not in the challenge. This process meant that I had no choice but to write my own content for several sites, which was quite time consuming. Furthermore, DasKapital.co.uk is still not finished. However, it has enabled me to add one more site to the challenge portfollio, :-

CSI Fan – This site relates to the CBS television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and it’s spin offs, CSI:Miami ans CSI:NY.

This brings the total number of sites in the Challenge to 10.
