My Copyright Infringement Policy

This policy is effective October 18, 2009 and replaces the previous policy.

Copyright Infringement is serious. There is no excuse to steal someone else's work and post it to your blog or website as your own. Like most writers, I work hard to develop SEO content that will draw an audience and write for several different companies. Like most writers, this is how I make money to pay for bills and prescriptions or donate to charity. So please, think twice before posting my content to your blog or website without permission. If you do use my work please email me in advance to explore reciprocal linking options or other possibilities.

Before you copy and paste my work onto your website you should be aware of the following:

If you link to my work all I ask is that you email me at youvebeenreviewed@gmail.com for approval before my work appears on your website.  I also ask that you credit Gayle Crabtree or Gayle D'Ambrosio - Crabtree and that you link back either to the www.youvebeenreviewed.net blog to www.gaylecrabtree.com or the original url of the content.

Please note that your choice to use of any of my articles or blog entries on your website indicates your willing agreement to be bound by the terms of this article.

If my work is discovered on your website without prior authorization you are subject to being billed the following amounts:

A monthly non-exclusive user fee of $150.00 for each month that my work appears on your website. This time period will be calculated from the date that appears on your post or, if no date is shown, from January 1 of the year the work was discovered. The work is billed per month and runs from the first day of the month to midnight on the last day of the month during which my work appears on your site.


A flat 4% late payment fee for funds not received by the 10th of the month will be added per month.

Additional fees such as collection costs may be assessed and added to the above totals.

If you have any questions about this policy please contact youvebeenreviewed@gmail.com. I will be happy to work with you for the best possible outcome of all parties.

Thank you.
