    I have a problem.

    I own this website iphoneunlockgeek.com(custom graphics) and paid some 600$ to finish the graphics and the backend but it has been copied entirely into iphoneunlockgeek.net and selling on a different paypal address.

    I have not started any promotions on it but this guy is already ranking on google.

    I have already contacted the owner for the same, his web hosting, his affiliate network. Will this be enough ?

    should i try to take him down or just leave him ?
