    Send them an email about the copyright infringement and threaten them with legal action if they don't remove it immediately. You can go through a process with google, but it's a long process before they will do anything about it. If the site is hosted in someplace like China, it might be your only option.

    If the search engines cached your site, then you can prove it with that. Or, if anyone ever cited you website. All you have to do to prove it's yours is show that you had posted the content prior to them. Has anyone ever emailed you in response.

    I'd say get a lawyer and sue the hell out of them. Sue them for their domain name, the cost of your site. If you sue them and win (which you probably can), then they will have to pay your legal fees.

    The Nissan Skyline's specifications and tuning guides are available on net.
    That's the ompany's specifivation for a car and can be had from their official site. I don't suppose you can write that stuff yourself.

    Dunno for the rest of the story. Am out of this thread. Bye :)

    Munna your website :
    Creation date: 27 Jan 2005 13:48:05
    His website :
    Created on: 08-Jul-06

    U have 46 pages indexed - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:http://nissanskyline.6te.net/&btnG=Google+Search
    He has only 1 page - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=site:http://www.skylineturbo.com/&btnG=Search
    Which can be sent to his host saying its his new site and copied your content.

    Just Show these links to their host -
    http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o...020153&s=http://www.skylineturbo.com/&w=34&c=
    http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o...020153&s=http://www.skylineturbo.com/&w=24&c=
    http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o...020153&s=http://www.skylineturbo.com/&w=40&c=
    http://www.copyscape.com/view.php?o...020153&s=http://www.skylineturbo.com/&w=55&c=

    Which shows that he used the same description which u used for getting listed on other web directories.

    Also email that guy about this issue and tell him now to copy the content.
