| Hi Guys Nice forum ! some good information here. Looking for some help - I run an irish website and looking at my visitor logs logs I have seen links to another site that is in the same business as myself. But this guy has Completely copied all my text, including tables that took for ever to complete. 80% of his site is copied from my site word for word and he was even dumb enough as to leave my company name in the text. I have not contacted him yet but have screen captures of his site Did anyone ever have this problem ? Thanks Brian |

| I haven't personally had it happened to me but have helped a friend out with the same issue once. What site is ripping you off? I know some members on here faced similar problems before. |

| It's happened to me more than once |

| Happened to me quite a few times. I contact the person's host and tell them what one of their customers are up to and show them my site that they copied. Almost every time, I get an email back from the host saying they have contacted the person and let them know about the issue. Problem Solved. |

| If your site has been copied I'd recommend contacting the other site's owners and telling them to remove the offending copy immediately. If they don't then you can escalate it. If their site appears in the Google / Yahoo or MSN results for certain keyphrases you can initiate a DMCA against them to have their content removed on the basis of copyright theft |

| Yea- first try contact them and resolve it between yourselves. If this doesn't to the trick escalate it until they get scared. If they are robbing content you can assume its a startup which will be weary of solicitor letters. |
