Sounds like this little problem would never have come up if not for that. Your family member may be acting dumb true but he has a right to as far as we are concerned. Some things you just don't mix.

First off the designer runs an adult & non-adult design firm., not to mention they paid a seperate firm (mine) to do the actual design, not the contractor. Secondly they were given permission by me, the company who contracted them to put the site in their portfolio. Secondly the design link isnt to an adult company but to a domain that now resolves to an a website that has adult links on it, no pornography is openly exposed, and the owner of the site (family member) could quite easily remove the link from their sites.
When you look at all the facts, I own the domain, they dont, the domain they are linking to on their own site links to a site that really no longer exists therefor they get a (lets call it a 404 page) that they could remove from their site.
The problem I have is with the "false" copyrights, no one claims any copyright to the information as a matter of fact even the portfolio has "Copyright theirsite.com". The fact of the matter is they are pissed because the portfolio link is coming up with a higher google PR ranking than their site.
If you had a family member like this you would want to get them back too, trust me. My concern is with them claiming "false" copyrights and the site that is being listed in the search engines is not owned by my organization or me.
