    You could ask the to change it but i do not think they will. I just hope no one copied site and sold templates of it.

    I've dealt with many people stealing my content. There are some things you can do...

    First, your page has no copyright notice on it. Add that right away. Although the people who steal content will ignore it, it gives you more ammo when dealing with them.

    Next, send an email demanding that they remove the stolen material. Give them a deadline, and let them know that if it isn't removed you'll be filing a DMCA complaint with their ISP, Google, and Yahoo.

    If they do not take the material off their site, file the DCMA complaints. If they do not respond or do not remove the material, their ISP will usually take the entire site down and Google and Yahoo will remove the sites from their indexes.

    It takes some effort to file proper DCMA complaints, but it works. I have seen violators who took my stuff and did not remove it shut down.

    Here is google's instructions, it will give you a good idea of what's involved with the filing of a DCMA complaint:

    Honestly, it doesn't make much difference to me. I'm making a whopping couple bucks a day from that page. It doesn't get mass traffic, but just to see someone steal your site kind of sucks.

    I can't find an email or way to contact whoever owns this site. I did a whois on www.snozzer.com but it doesn't have a registrant email or contact.

    Nevermind...I found who copied it...and he is a DP member. I will contact him directly and let him know he needs to make a few changes to his (my) site.

    Yeah well, luckily it was DP member, so it wasn't difficult to track down. All's good. A mod can close this thread if they see the need.
