    Site content stolen (text, design) what to do??

    I just found an idiot who created an almost mirror of my site, If it was a tgp I would not care so much, but this is a nice site that makes good money, he stole parts of design and all text. Not only that but he is promoting the site on the same pages as I do now, so he is actually in competition with me using my stuff!

    Fuck that makes me mad! I have spent years developing this site and testing it with different promoting and he just stole everything.

    I want revenge, please help me to stop him!
    What would you do?

        Send your original design contract, and your copyright proofs to a lawyer. Asking GFY for legal advice is usually not the best thing to do. If you have been wronged, go about it the legal way.

        OR



        Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

                              someone did that to me before, they copied all the keywords on my one niche blog.

                                  GET A LAWYER! Seriously, open your phone book and call a few lawyers. You can explain your situation over the phone in about 5 minutes, if they have time to listen. If they don't, find a lawyer who will give you a free consultation. Most of them will be able to hear you out over the phone and give you an idea of what it will cost you and what your legal options are.

                                  Basically, you might be looking at paying a small-time lawyer $250 an hour to get on the Internet, check the two sites in question and write up a letter telling the thief to stop using your site design and text to avoid a lawsuit. (It's called a cease and desist letter.) You can probably get all this done for $250 or $500, maybe $1,000 max. It's worth it.

                                  If you have dated material showing when you designed, created and/or launched your site, print it out and take it to the lawyer when you see him. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. I hate Internet thieves!
