Someone had copied entire debt management guide... Sent them a cease and desist and ordered them to pay a fine for my time.

Ah, just checked and found someone has copied the whole of House buying guide here: http://realestate.bizhat.com/guide/index.php

How do I found out who to email? Have looked at whois.sc: http://www.whois.sc/bizhat.com but couldnt find any where to go from there...

Did you try the contact form? http://www.bizhat.com/contact.php. Their host appears to be http://www.hosthat.com - contact them aswell.

Also, how did you find them?

Cheers...

Googled a random bit of text from my site in quotes: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22in...e=off&filter=0

Got my site and this other one, checked it out and saw they have copied the whole site...

May just go to the host directly? Dont see why I should just let them take it down, i would rather their host took the whole site down, and they had to sort it out...

Hmmm, offending site is 'BizHat', host is 'HostHat' I guess they might be hosted by themselves... What would you do in this situation?

I would write directly to their dedicated hosting provider.

How could I find out who they are?

**ozgression** · 01-23-2005, 04:44 PM

Could this be it - http://www.pwebtech.com ? http://www.whois.sc/65.98.61.140 (its the IP from the BizHat.com whois.sc results).

Cheers...

Ah thanks ozgression, will have to remember that. So would it be best to email pwebtech's abuse email address?

Does anyone know where I could get a template letter from?

Here is what you need:

OrgAbusePhone: +1-973-294-2021
OrgAbuseEmail: abuse@pwebtech.com

Use domainwhitepages.com it's very good

.

I can use a template email too. Does anybody want to share, Chris maybe?

Yes, I saw the abuse email address on ozgression's whois link too, that domainwhitepages.com is cool though, will have to bookmark that.

Well, I was feeling nice for some reason, and used their contact page and asked them to remove it or I would take it up with their host... Lets see what happens...

Let us know how it went...

The reason you have to go to Google is because sometimes you can't get a host to take the site down. If they are located in the US and they don't -- they can get in big trouble. If they are in China or perhaps some other country laws may be a little bit different.
