How To Avoid Copyright Infringement Online

Online shopping has become the go-to for both consumers and businesses seeking speed and convenience. According to the latest report from the Office for National Statistics, e-commerce sales in 2016 were made up of £236 billion in website sales and £274 billion in electronic data interchange (EDI) sales or business-to-business sales.

The BBC recently reported on the growth of the online fashion retailer Boohoo. Boohoo saw their revenues jump by 53% in the three months to the end of May, with UK revenues up by 49% and US revenues up by 75%. In a previous report in March, the company stated that pre-tax profit had risen by 40% to £181.3 million.

The success of the online-only retailer is a stark contrast to the many household names making the headlines in recent weeks as retail brands continue to struggle in the market. Businesses that have dominated the high street for decades are being forced to announce store closures and job losses as they face difficult times.
