**i have already notified NetDirect about the issue.

More info about the ripper: i am getting the fraud persons visitor IP: 109.93.101.153, Country: Serbia, City: Belgrade.

 

DMCA can help you up some minor charges but will blow the site away in some days

 

Would appreciate if your can give me the link to contact with DMCA

 

The visitor alert is now coming from http://www.extremew.net/gfxhost/

looks like he changed the folder.

 

Foolish Ripper... Kept the Call Backs Alive

Well, From Your part, Kindly Leave him a Mail In a Moderate Manner telling all this and kindly ask him to remove those whole rip.

Wait for his reply, If he seems negative, You can File a DCMA Case and Ask The Hoster to Suspend the account with no BAckup Left.

Thanks.

 

Or you can contact a lawyer that is specialized in internet fraud

I toked 2 minutes from my precious time and find these 2 :

I am not sure about what they can do, but a legal advice will be more effective than our opinions

 

Thanks bro. I just send him an email asking to remove those file/materials which is intellectual property of our company. also made cc to netdirect support dept.

Lets see if he give any reply or not.

UPDATE ** The ripper changed most of the content to his language also changed the menu and some details.

Thanks a lot bro for finding the link. this might be helpful.

 

Go for it http://www.dmca.com/ asap!

 

Oh thats great... the service looks awesome. money back guarantee!


** UPDATE: after sending ripper email to remove the content. he just removed the site to a new directory.
new link: http://www.extremew.net/webhostgfx/

 

Yeap, they have saved my lot of money turned down many sites with my premium wordpress themes ripped ones.

 

Well, Now change your talking mode.. Make it authoritative. Tell them if you keep the stuff in your server again, you will be legally put into a case and your host will be forced to be suspended.

And wait for the changes

And next, File a Case Legally Or Using DCMA

 

excuse me about how does DMCA come into play on a server in Germany and and guy in Serbia

@OP your best bet is netdirect , mail them at abuse and report his server , they will take action themselves .

and yeah from experience DO NOT send a DMCA to netdirect they hate it , and you will burn your only chance !!

 

^^

Dmca will contact the server owner

 

how does a act contact a server owner !! , you do realize DMCA is a American act and netdirect is a German d.c ,and nobody even knows where OP is from !! netdriect which really hates it when when some one even sends them a DMCA notice by mistake !! OP 's best chance is to explain to netdirect i know that d.c and they will take action themselves .

just mail them at abuse and give full details.

 

ok i have sent an email to netdirect.de on there abuse department. with all details. this is what they have replied:

 

Ladies and Gentlemen

 

I really dont think you can do anything. hes in a different country why would USA be able to do anything there? hmmm im doubtful...

anyways who cares if he steals your site? just get more traffic than him and you'll do fine.. its the content and service that matters anyways..

 

Cyberlaw is unique across different countries. It is hard to prosecute anyone from countries which doesn't have strict laws. However this comes under copyright infringement and brand misuse. You can complaint to the domain registrar, host or whoever is supporting the site. Good luck to you

 

good luck
