    Email his host with all the information you can give them and they might take him offline.

    Was the site design by you or you get it from somewhere else. Chances are that both of you actually downloading the same free templates.

    Most likely you both sites got the same template from somewhere.
    There is no way the accused ripper could of Put his name on the banner like that without damaging it and making it look like crap. Obviouly he has the PSD file for it. So its a public template.

    You have to be sure you own the rights to something before being able to say that someone else stole something from you. He could of very well counter-charged you if you had emailed his host asking them to shut him down.

    yes it's a template. but I modified it alot only the header design is orginal. other stuff created by me. is there any thing I can do? I know I don't have copyright or ownership for the design but wt about modified parts? I'm using myred redirection script. it's very easy to ripped off html files from that script. you can also see the "partners" and "sponsors" on that page. those sites are mine so do u still think this is not a ripped? and check the "terms" button it's link to "latest.php" that's can't be coz it's same as on my page.

    The host and site is in Iran... emailing the host will most likely do nothing. Really the only thing you can do because of the location is contact Google and fill out the proper DMCA paperwork:

    http://www.google.com/dmca.html

    This will get the site removed from Google at least.

    Maybe a stupid question but how do people find the sites that have ripped their information or sites off in the first place?

    Either both look like templates or he has done a good job copying your site.
