I have recently found some websites that are not only stealing my original content but my template etc. What do you feel the best course of action is? I do have their email and hosting information. Anyone have any examples? Thanks again Jelf
Not the answer you're after but I personally would go down the diplomatic route to begin with and (a) bring it to their attention they're infringing your copyright and (b) ask them to remove your material within X days or contact you and make alternative arrangements.
Agree with CoutryBoy, be polite is the way to go because sometimes people is using your content because another individual sold it as original. This way if the offender is acting on good faith after being fooled will remove whatever belongs to you, otherwise you should take legal measures.
Start off courteous, and then gradually increase aggressiveness. Don't give him more than 3 chances to remove it, and dont threaten if you wont go through with it...
Well I once found someone using my content and what I did was this, I emailed the website owner and recived no reply after 3 days so I went streight to his webhost and they suspended his account lol They left it suspended until it was all gone.
