There’s no question that quotes can be a powerful way to get your point across. They’re concise, memorable, and often pack a lot of punch. Unfortunately, not everyone is as scrupulous as they should be when it comes to crediting the original author. This can lead to some pretty frustrating situations when you see your words being used without attribution. As an entrepreneur, it’s important to be aware of these situations and how to handle them. In this blog post, we’ll compile some of the most common instances of quote theft, as well as provide tips for dealing with them.
