Copyright on Terms of Service/Use, Privacy Policy type pages?

INTERNET MARKETING

I'm looking to add new services to my site. However, I'm stuck on finalizing the terms of use type pages. My competition obviously has tweaked their terms of use pages to near perfection. Which got me thinking, from a legal standpoint, won't pages like these tend to be almost identical in the end? And, are there legal ramifications from taking such a legal document and tailoring it to your business specifically?

Thanks.

  Quick answer? Yes and yes.
  
  There are a couple of bona fide lawyers on the forum who offer licenses to legal pages, and they enforce their copyrights vigorously. I can't believe they are the only ones.
  
  There are also collections of templates available for personal use, which you can tailor to fit your individual business.
  
  Thanks

  Can you site any sources?
  
  I've been searching both Google and the Warrior Forum but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet.

  Yes, legal terms are copyrighted. A couple years ago a Warrior was caught stealing terms and his pocketbook ended up a few thousand dollars lighter.
  
  A few places to find terms from attorneys with IM experience:
  
  Internet Marketing Law Center - Membership (my site)
  
  Internet Marketing Law Products (Bob Silber)
  
  Legal Documents Online - Legal Forms Generator (Mike Young)

  Mine were included in a book I bought on Amazon. I did have to type them out, subtract stuff that did not apply to me, and make the details fit (site name, contact info, etc.)
  
  I found this one, by Mike Young.
