Hi BHW, noob here.
For the last few days I've been absorbing ridiculous amounts of info from BHW preparing for my first foray into the online goldmine. I must admit I've never been good at tech/IT stuff, I'm more of a man of letters.
Since I am an ESL translator, I've thought about making some use of my skills to 'reboot' a successful site with content written in my L1 as a brand new site in English. I would personally translate most of its content, change the layout, edit some of the articles and put it up to hopefully get some humble amount of $ rolling in.
I know it's a bit of a dick move to steal someone's IP, but they weren't going to monetize it in the english-speaking web regardless. Do you think it would work ? Are there any caveats in my reasoning ? (I know it's probably illegal to do so).
