Stole my web site!
I'm speechless with anger http://www.petsdog.info/ And according to Whois they aren't in the US. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/dogplayshop.htm |

They can't copyright stolen material that is already copyrighted. I'm betting you have good grounds for legal action if they don't immediately delete all content stolen from you. -- Tara |

Unless I can come up with a US entity to deal with, threats of legal action are going to be kind of empty. I've dealt with dozens of sites taking stuff, all but one in North America. I've had to send lawyer letters only twice. The one not in NA ignored me. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/dogplayshop.htm |

I'd get in touch with them and let them know that they're hosting a website that was stolen from you and that you're an attorney (you are, right?). Also, this is probably a stretch but I'd try getting in touch with their registrar, and if that doesn't work (I'm guessing they're in China, too) kick it up to Afilias (afilias.info), who's got ultimate responsibility for domain registry operations for ..info. That said, there's really not that much that can be done about China and intellectual property theft. They're stealing everything that's not nailed down, and a few things that are. I was recently searching for a Canada Goose parka and discovered a bunch of Chinese knockoffs being auctioned off on Ebay. It's amazingly pervasive. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - 43% of all private-sector jobs created in the US from 2001 to April 2005 are housing-related |

By googling or did someone call it to your attention? Googling. My stuff gets snarfed regularly enough that I will peridoically google on certain phrases. Apparently they ran some kind of script to remove specific references to my site and my name. One of my articles still has a link pointing to their hard drive! -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/dogplayshop.htm |

And if that fails: DOS attack! Thanks everyone for the support. If neceesary I'll send a DMCA letter - I don't have a printer at home. For the moment I've calmed down enough to do some research (sleep helps). I've discovered that the party named in the domain registration was also named in the regiration of a site involved in a similar incident. Plus I discovered dregs of another site in the source code. I figured out the legitimate site and their stolen site and made the appropriate notifiction. From the notes re the earlier reported problem I felt encouraged to notify the affiliates and advertisers.

Best wished on recovering your great website. Thanks. At least they can't really affect me directly. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/dogplayshop.htm |
