I think she is just trying to scare you off. Is she saying the the layout of the page is hers ( the sketch itself) or is it the content of the pictures- hand, foot, toes, etc. If that is the case,I've seen hundreds of layouts that have that kind of photo in it. I'm sure she's not the first to use it. I would think the copyright she has should specify what EXACTLY is her idea. Then if yours is the same, even though you didn't mean it to be, you'll have to change yours. I guess that would be a case of dumb luck- you didn't know. She better have same darn good proof of what is HER idea like she's claiming.

This is just too bizarre! I can't believe that a layout can be copyrighted! Would love to hear what sort of "proof" this nutcase thinks she has "registered with the US Copyright office".

Keep us updated!!

I just don't think that they are unique enough to copyright

Ditto to sherry i am starting to see where she is going with this. I had a feeling that she was not looking for your service's for her use but checking out the competition..... I wonder if in her mind because some or your lo are close ( but by no strech of the imaginations the same lo) she is afraid that you have stolen something from her. Afraid that you saw her sight and are trying to ride her wave as it where. I hope everything works out ok .. and please do keep us informed.


Haley you are a bad little girl shame on you lol You make a good point though ... Now i don't have molding around my windows but i want to put some up so can i just pay you now.... Visa ok?

I was having that same thought.

One more thought if it is just a scare tactic... she might just get bit by someone else

Granted, the layouts look very similar, but so do hundreds of layouts and who is to say which one was first? The announcements are cute, but not unique. I saw a disclaimer about the website content being protected by applicable law. This just means that she could come after you if you copy her website; however, I don't see this applicable to individual layouts. Heck if she would apply this to each individual layout, Amy could copyright every single layout posted on this website. (Now don't get any ideas now Amy ya hear me. LOL)

I am really looking forward to seeing her reply to your request of proof.
