In an effort to protect myself and my content from the growing number of content leaches that exist on the Internet, I am looking to add a very strict copyright and content usage policy to my websites.

I am not a lawyer, so I dont know exactly what must be included. I have done a fair amount of research on the Internet and I have see a lot of websites offering copyright notice "templates", but these all seem to cover US copyright. Are there any similar services for the UK?

If not, can anyone recommend a fairly in-expensive, but capable, UK solicitor that can write one for me, for less than £500? ($900 approx).

I would also like a clause in the notice that add's a "license fee" for unauthorised use, does anyone know if such a thing is legal in the UK? I am aware some people have put a similar clause in US copyright statements.
