Dear Sirs,
Copyright Infringement
We write to confirm the legal basis upon which you are obligated to remove the website http://ukworkfare.github.io/bmstores/ from your service. As requested, we itemise separately the individual legal grounds.
Copyright
-
The http://ukworkfare.github.io/bmstores/ site is a straight copy taken from the source- code and design of our own web-site.
-
The text from our site http://www.bmstores.co.uk/ has been copied and reproduced on the poster's site. In some cases the infringer has made minor alterations to titles or minor additions to our original work. These minor alterations are insufficient to prevent the body of the work being a breach of copyright.
-
Our site expressly puts our copyright notice at the foot of every page as follows: "© Copyright 2015 — B&M Retail Limited. All rights reserved"
The copying of our original work can be very clearly seen by comparing the http://ukworkfare.github.io/bmstores/ URL pages against those where they have been copied from our site at http://www.bmstores.co.uk/
A list marked "Infringer's URL's" is set out below, with the Infringing URL pages from the infringer's site immediately followed by the relevant page from our site. You will see that aside from the occasional subtle manipulation of the copy, substantially all the data, text, layout and photography on virtually every page is a copy of our original work and copyright.
Specifically, on the Infringer's URL pages it can also be seen that all of the product and staff photographs on the poster's site are copied from our site. B&M Retail Limited is the sole copyright owner of all the white background photographs of products and photographs of staff on our site.
Our B&M "sunburst" orange and blue logo is the design and copyright of B&M Retail Limited. It has been used by the Infringer without permission.
