Someone Copied part of my site.

    It looks like someone copied some of my content on my site.
    Even though it looks like they are in china I want to send them a C&D letter.

    I don't have the money for a lawyer to write one, does anyone have a sample C&D letter I could use as a starting point or know where to get one.

    Thanks

    This is a bad sign. Imagine you'd have to spend much more than just pay a lawyer for starters. Sometimes it is just wise to continue doing your business and ignore the unscrupulous to save your own time. Keep services at top level and you'll always have chances to be ahead of competition whether or not they are copying from you. Loyal customers / site visitors will appreciate you mentioning the incident on your site and just move on...

    Does Google & Yahoo have a form for this or email address?

    The whois info of the domain points to some guy in China (if it is correct) so I am not sure how much a C&D letter will scare him.
