Details: 1) Levenshtein fuzzy match at 97.50% similarity for http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ 2) http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ does not give credit back to http://www.exa.com.au/ by citation - the word EXA does not appear in the visible text at all. 3) http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ does not hyperlink back to http://www.exa.com.au/ - the domain www.exa.com.au does not appear in the html at all. However, it may contain shortened links such as those provided by bit.ly etc. Shortened links do not provide the same implied authorisation by credit given, and still amount to infringements. 4) http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/: Earliest year copyright is claimed is 2013 by the author of http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/. It may or may not be accurate. It was found in this string: 2013 Australia Business Listing. Here are all the copyright related strings we found: 2013 Australia Business Listing,copyright"> 2013 Australia Business Listing, 5) Levenshtein fuzzy match at 97.50% similarity for http://www.exa.com.au/ 6) http://www.exa.com.au/ did not contain a valid copyright year that we could use. 7) http://www.exa.com.au/ contained no reference to copyright at all. 8) http://www.exa.com.au/: While we have evidence of the publication of http://www.exa.com.au/ from both Google and the Wayback Machine, the evidence from the Wayback Machine is irrefutable and puts the work's priority date at Nov 11, 2009 9) WB Error number: 200 Header string: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily Curl info: We will proceed regardless (with an arbitrary priority date of Dec 14, 2013) 10) http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/: Failed wbmachine - using Google Earliest Crawl Date as evidence of their date: Mar 13, 2013 11) http://www.exa.com.au/ has an earlier Priority Date: Nov 11, 2009 than http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au /ecommerce-website-design/ : Mar 13, 2013. It will be necessary for the owner of http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au /ecommerce-website-design/ to prove they created and published the text in question from http://www.exa.com.au/ earlier than Nov 11, 2009, and this will be hard to do without 3rd party witnesses as to the precise content being available earlier as well as an independently certified contemporaneous web server access log showing unbroken crawler rejection of Google and Wayback between Nov 11, 2009 and Mar 13, 2013 (1218 days) via a robots.txt file prohibiting crawling,residing on http://www.australia-businesslisting.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ Otherwise, this infringement has been ongoing for 276 days so far and as at Dec 14, 2013. 12) The level of character similarity between these text snippets is 420. This means out of 922 characters, 420 where the same, giving a percentage of 45.55%. 13) The level of character similarity between these two pages is 16%. This means out of 8953 characters on the smallest page, 1460
6 of 47 15/12/2013 12:11 AM were the same, giving a percentage of 16.31%, bearing in mind that the largest page (http://www.exa.com.au/) contained 13811 more characters than ours, and generated a percentage of 6.41% in that context. 14) The frequency of identical words occuring between the two snippets is 71%. This means out of 120 words in the smallest snippet, 85 where the same, giving a percentage of 70.83%, bearing in mind that http://www.exa.com.au/ contained 52 more words. 15) The frequency of identical words occuring between the two pages is 152. In relation to http://www.australia-businesslisting.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/'s 'unique word count' of 650, this is 23.38%. In relation to http://www.exa.com.au/'s 'unique word count' of 1299, this is 11.70%. http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ contains 649 less words. Using http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ with 650 unique words, the actual identical word frequency is 152 and the identical word frequency ratio is 23.38%. 16) The frequency of different words occuring between the two pages is 1147. In relation to http://www.australia-businesslisting.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/'s 'unique word count' of 650, this is 176.46%. In relation to http://www.exa.com.au/'s 'unique word count' of 1299, this is 88.30%. http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ contains 649 less words. Using http://www.exa.com.au/ with 1299 unique words, the actual identical word frequency is 152 and the different word frequency ratio is 88.30%. 17) The frequency of identical sentences (SLIPs - statistical less improbable phrases - 4 words) occuring between the two pages is 1. In relation to http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/'s 'short sentence count' of 1488, this is 10%. In relation to http://www.exa.com.au/'s 'short sentence count' of 357, this is 43%. http://www.exa.com.au/ contains 1131 less sentences. Using http://www.exa.com.au/ with 357 non-unique short sentences (NOSLIPs - Non_Unique Statistically Less Improbable Phrases), the actual identical sentence frequency is 1 and the identical sentence frequency ratio is 43% 18) The actual frequency of materially similar (if not identical) [Levenshtein < 30 characters] sentences occuring between the two pages is 26 (comparing http://www.exa.com.au/ with http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/), and 28 (comparing http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ with http://www.exa.com.au/). 19) In relation to http://www.exa.com.au/'s NOSLIPs of 357, 26 amounts to 7.28%. 20) In relation to http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/'s NOSLIPs of 1488, 28 amounts to 1.88%. 21) http://www.exa.com.au/ contains 1131 less sentences than http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website- Design/. Using http://www.exa.com.au/ with 357 NOSLIPs, the actual materially similar sentence frequency ratio is 28 and the identical sentence frequency ratio is 7.84%. When the order of the pages is reversed, using http://www.australia-businesslisting.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ with 1488 NOSLIPs, the actual materially similar sentence frequency ratio is 26 and the identical sentence frequency ratio is 1.75%. 22) It is more accurate to refer to the higher percentage as otherwise legitimate copies are ignored. Therefore, the materially similar sentences ratio is 7.84%. 23) SUBSTANTIALITY: As merely indicative, we have added a small weighting of 0.025 per percent for scores of over 30% for snippet similarity. While the snippet is a subset of the whole page score, a high score here signifies the degree of copying intensity at one point in the document, making it easier to demonstrate an infringement. Greater than 46% of the characters in the snippet are identical and therefore the cost is 1.14, making the total substantiality weighting 1.14. 24) SUBSTANTIALITY: We have added a moderate weighting of 0.05 per percent for scores over 25.00% for identical words in the snippet. Even though the snippet is a subset of the whole page score, a high score here means that there is more intence of copying in one location of http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/. As greater than 70.83% of the words in the snippet are identical the weighting is 3.54 and the total weighting is 4.68. 25) SUBSTANTIALITY: It is highly improbable that a page with more than 10% of identical words does not contain copying. Therefore, this factor carries 1.1 of a percent weighting. We are confident this page contains a substantial degree of copying because greater than 1.1% of the words on http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ are identical with http://www.exa.com.au/ - in fact 23.38% match. The additional weighting is 25.72 and the total substantiality weighting so far is 30.4. 26) SUBSTANTIALITY: It is highly improbable that a page with more than 50 identical words does not contain copying. Therefore, this factor carries 0.02 of a percent weighting. We are confident this page contains a substantial degree of copying because 152 words on http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ are identical with http://www.exa.com.au/. The additional weighting is 3.04 and the total substantiality weighting so far is 33.44. 27) SUBSTANTIALITY: It is unlikely that a page with more than 5% identical sentences does not contain copying - in fact, that is the definition of copying. Therefore, this factor carries a 6 percent weighting. We are confident this page contains a substantial degree of copying because 43% sentences on http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ are identical with http://www.exa.com.au/. The additional weighting is 258.00 and the total substantiality weighting so far is 291.44.
7 of 47 15/12/2013 12:11 AM 28) SUBSTANTIALITY: We are confident that this page contains a substantial degree of copying because more than 4 phrases on the page are materially similar if not identical to those on yours. In fact, there are 26 materially similar sentences on http://www.exa.com.au/ matching http://www.australia-business-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/. This factor carries a 6 percent weighting. The additional weighting is therefore 156.00 and the total substantiality weighting so far is 447.44. 29) FINAL SUBSTANTIALITY: For these reasons, the total extent of copying from http://www.exa.com.au/ by http://www.australiabusiness-listing.com.au/ecommerce-website-design/ has been assessed at 447.44, where 100 amounts to an infringement that is legally actionable in terms of whether there is a sufficient degree of copying (whether the copying is substantial).
