I have a mainstream site that has a major portion of text being copied by a major mainstream site word for word. I can prove this only from the web archive, my site was there in Nov 2001, their site in Jan 2002. I emailed them a very professional letter asking them to remove my text. They have emailed me back saying they their web designer did it and they will remove the text provided I can provide them with proof that my text is the original. They said they are sending this to their attorney and if I cannot provide them proof with it, they will be sending me their attorney bill. If they want to get that way that's not a problem. My girlfriend is a lawyer for a huge firm, but she isn't here right now and doesn't deal with copyrights. I want to deal with this now. Does anyone have experience with this type of thing? I have a copyright mark on it and everything, the web archive is there too. What else do I need to prove this?
