Maybe the law is different over there but from everything my patent attorney and intellectual property advisors told me there is no such thing as 'legally copyrighted' everything is copyrighted automatically the only reason for a notice is to emphasize it and the only reason for a solicitor is to prove that it was you that did it. - they're essentially a witness and you can save yourself much hassle and money by simply sending a copy to yourself by recorded delivery and using it in court! If you can prove it's yours even without a notice on the text or a solicitor you still have all the same legal rights. It really is splitting hairs mind you but always best to know where you stand!
That's what annoyed me, the link to the site was in the original post, regardless of whether the tutorial was there are not, the site was still sourced and linked accordingly, as i said in the post before yours, we have never had this problem before, no one in the history of this forum has ever requested us to remove a tutorial.
