People are jerks. I would report them or hire a guy with a deep, course voice and give them a quick ring :) DianeV,

Coincidentally, I found a site yesterday that was composed almost solely of our material, including images (well, he did -apparently- write his own privacy policy). I did a nice mod_rewrite to replace the images, sent two emails and called. As of today, he's password-protected most of the pages. But that's not enough. Normally I'd just send an email and/or call, but using so much of our site ... well, I'm just not going away. Thanks for the link, Giovanna.

I was just talking to my business partners this morning about what we could do (if anything) about our content being taken and used without our permission. Currently we don't have the time nor the energy to track everyone down and request they either link back to our site or remove our content from their website. I read a post not too long ago on a forum, where the person told a story of her requesting her content to be removed from a website, from the website owner, where her content had been duplicated. When the owner didn't reply to her request, she contacted the website's advertisers to report the content theft... not too long later her material was removed from the website!
