Some Kook using my Script Illegally, options?

    Hey folks, seeking some advice... Just by chance I happened upon another members website, linked from their signature and from a 'services' thread in the b/s/t. I soon discovered that this site was using an illegal copy of my site/domain analyzing script. The site in question: http://www.adgreenph.com/analyzer/ is certainly using my script, which lives at: www.analizeyour.com

    What are my options, the DP user, 4_reyes hasn't responded to any of my messages or complaints, and it seems that the site owner, 4_reyes aka Mario jesus Merritt, (mjcmerritt@gmail.com +63.9182936373 1 road 7 cogeo village antipolo city, rizal province 1870 PH) doesn't want to have any communications with me...

    What do I do? It's not about the loss of money from the sale of the script, it's that a fellow DP user is blatantly using the script without credit to the script creator or sponsor. I'm planning on just writing it off as a loss, but if you see 4_reyes in the forums think twice about doing business with him.

    turn your script into open source!!!

    that saves you lots of headache and lots of money
    you have NO chance against anyone in the PH
    as the PH is safe heaven for all kinds of piracy

    I loose MANY thousands of $ each year for similar copyright infringements ...
    sometimes i shut down a site if hosted on a US based server then that is an option
    if server in CN or EU - that option is too expensive to implement
