graphics, articles you have written, and a detailed description of what makes your

company special (all, original works of authorship) You upload your new content to

your company's site, looking forward to the new business that your updated site is

certain to attract. The next day, your friend calls to tell you that she's seen some of

your website content on a competitor's website, with the names changed to look

like your content belongs to your competitor. What can you do?

When online content comprises "original works of authorship fixed in any tangible
