You can send an email to him, notifying him that you are aware of his actions - kindly requesting him to take it down, before you send him some lawyer letters. btw, he probably seen that you already know, from the links from this post : )) Good luck!
FAX a DMCA takedown notice to his host, to Google (get him de-indexed), and to his advertisers. This Google page gives good idea on how to file a DMCA. Most hosts etc... will not act without a proper DMCA takedown notice. http://www.google.com/dmca.html http://knownhost.com/aup.html "Copyright Infringement Notice (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) If you believe your copyright is being infringed by a person using the KnownHost network, please send your written notice of copyright infringement to...."
As tobycoke says, DMCA notices are useful. I have a tool for DMCA notices in my signature line (not pretty, but it's helpful). The website is registered with GoDaddy, whose WHOIS information is located here: http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domain=buy-pepper-spray-today.com&prog_id=godaddy The registrant is: Joseph Morris 118 Main Street Nazareth, Pennsylvania 18064 United States +1.4844779702 There's another thread about the same guy here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=847879
A quick google shows that may be a joejob but others are saying that it;s correct. That's why I didn;t use that information. I just go straight to the host now a days. What do you think? Left or right side of the street?
White Pages shows there's a North and South Main Street, the North one apparently having apartments. Maybe he's in there? He seems to be located at 199 Brookside Lane in the same city according to information showing up in Google but not on DomainTools anymore: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="4844779702"&aq=f&oq=&aqi= (Result 2). It's possible he is really at 199 Brookside and changed it to another address to avoid people who had been contacting him in other disputes.
Or he lives at Brookside address, and has an office on Main St. Nazareth is where Mario Andretti the Indy Race guy lives (lived?)
Contact your lawyer or get one and sue him. Take pictures of evidence on the computer ect. I would be so happy why because he is screwed this guy is going to lose alot money this guy done messed up big time. You can expect to be eating well for the next months.
Welcome to the Sue Happy United States. Thanks for making our court systems even more backed up. I wouldn't do that. I would go the DMCA/ Complain to the webhost route first. Suing first instead of following up with other (and cheaper) options may back fire. Especially if you wind up with a judge who doesn't take too kindly to you wasting the court's time. edit: It's interesting that the original poster hasn't responded and the "scam" site is still up. Usually DMCA's get dealt with fairly quickly here in the US. I'm beginning to wonder if something is fishy here.
Before doing all these stuff Better Email him once with polite warning and ask him to remove all ur articles and not to copy anything here on. if no reply than go ahead and SUE him
Im here... Ive emailed him 3 times and had no response. Im going to be going the DMCA route. Been trying to get things together, but been in at the hospital... Ive become an uncle last night!
Congrats We get a lot of threads around here where the poster will start and we'll never see them again. I was thinking this was yet another one of those. Any pics yet?
