i have received content from a client in order to design a site from scratch. It has come to my attention that the content (text & images) has literally been copied from 3 other sites. I have asked him to provide different content but was wondering who is liable regarding copyright - me as the web designer or the client as the site owner & provider of the content?

Hi, I am just starting out as a freelancer & require some advice. In order to get a portfolio of my work up and running I am trying several marketing campaigns. One of which was going to be a targeted email campaign to local businesses in my area. I have compiled a list of emails belonging to local companies who I believe could do with an update to their existing website (believe me they are terrible). All the email addresses are on the existing websites or from local business directories. I plan on sending out approx. 20 emails at a time and seeing what response I get before sending another 20. All the emails will be going to businesses and not individuals (I admit some are Sole Traders) and as I'm just starting out they will contain huge discounts. So I suppose my questions are: Has anybody done this? If so, was it successful? Is it even legal? (I have looked & the legislation is pretty confusing) Apologies if this has been asked before on here. All help gratefully received!!
