Nowadays, with copyright systems being abused; its found everywhere since people have their content flagged and removed on that basis. However, content theft and actual copyright infringement where plagiarism is involved is not found and sometimes not even reported, but still less-so than false positives.

Copyright infringement is common due to several factors ranging from the lack of awareness to the lack of strict regulation. However, the UAE takes copyright infringement very seriously with either financial penalties and, in extreme cases, deportation.The UAE's stance is clearly defined in federal law no. 7. For those who cannot afford to hire a lawyer, there are pro-bono courts in the DIFC you can use as well as several arbitration centres across the UAE that could help mediate and resolve the outlined issues. I would recommend the latter as a first step.

HUGE!!

 

Not only the credit ability will be questioned of those infringing on copyright elements without permission but will also effect the Web authority of the page/company & copyright based on the severeness can take action from just bringing down the post/article to filing an suit!!

 

Thanks!!
