Cheers Redfly,
I'm meeting with the client this week so I'll discuss your suggestions with him.
Here's the site I developed for my client DropBuySell - eBay Drop off Store Belfast and here's the rip off DropBuySell - eBay Drop off Store Belfast
It's pretty blatant!

That's a bit too weird. 
The .org is using the .com's CSS file, so if you want to make a point....change the CSS file.
They even have a link back to your site from the .org's footer. Ahh, something strange is going on. It's not your obvious 'i borrowed a bit of this guys website and made my own one' job.

Wanna take down their site? Here's what you do:
Duplicate your main css file (includes/stylesheet.css) and call it stylesheet-real.css. Then link your pages on the .com site to it. Leave the other css there but delete everything in it and add this:
body { display: none; }
This will effectively hide the .org site. A nice little bit of payback.

Dave

That's not a bad idea!!!!!
You've got a chance to hit them back as they are hotlinking to you so why not do it!

Those friggin' Japanese!
Huh?
Is not using your stylesheet. The website has the CSS hosted on their server and changing your own wouldn't help.
What you see in the source code linking to your own stylesheet is just a meaningless tag "tppabs" tag created automatically by the TelePort software used to download websites for local browsing.
Your best option is the send a cease and desist letter and also make sure you let the search engines knows that is not your site, cause it will affect your position in SE.

You're right. I read the source wrong. Pity... you could of had some fun there!
God and I thought I had it bad when this crowd ripped off our old design.... International Marketing, Import & Export (wayback machine - online marketing ireland, web site promotion, internet marketing, search engine marketing, Internet advertising - Welcome to 2bscene: 2bscene Limited - not exactly as it was, but good guide)
The most annoying thing for me now is that under repeated requests for them to remove my statcounter code from their website (which is all i want) they don;t even respond to me.
