Did you trace the person and look up http://www.ststephenschandigarh.com/ (linked at the bottom of each page)?
Why not call the head of that school?

Block his IP address/domain name?

It doesn't matter what software he's using to read your RSS feeds, just block him at the server level and he can't do it anymore.

Of course he could always get around it but the point is to make copying your content more trouble than it's worth. ;)

Also send a take down notice to his host. :p

I did a check on him and he is not a school going kid. He just runs a site for them(maybe the school is his alma mater.)
yep first thing i did. Set a server side firewall ignore rule :p
I have given him a 24 hour notice to remove my sites content. If he doesn't am gonna send one. From a whois it looks like he is hosted with godaddy.

lots of options.. null route his IP, see if his scraper has a custom User Agent and deny that in Robots.txt .. usemod_rewrite to rewrite urls with his domain as the referrer to nasty places.. etc etc etc.

Get creative :) (there is an awesome writeup on using mod_rewrite and image magik to flip all the graphics when its retrieved, he'll be scraping all your content upside down.. LOL)

Damn, this thread is starting to get interesting :)

Zate, could you hook me up with that mod_rewrite script :D

Did you:
- google his name and email address?
- do a whois on several whois sites to see if anything more comes up?
- call the board of the school to apply pressure there?
- do a reverse lookup on his name (if you have that)?

Send their host a DMCA complaint demanding that all content that was gathered from your site be removed.

I wouldn't worry about Google too much. They don't put much value in forum content to begin with. They will see your sites content as the older original and then they will devalue that sites duplicate content. Especially if there is no link back to the source.

Just ignore it. Google is on the ball and is not going to penalize you on duplicate content for this. Go read Matt Cutts blog because there was some great info on duplicate content not long ago....

I would just let the guy do what he is doing and not worry about it. You might actually even be getting some publicity out of it...

The last thing I have to say is that I can't believe what I am hearing hear from grown adults. Someone does something stupid and cheats and people are saying to do the same thing in return? No offence but that sounds childish at least...

Best of luck..... I don't think that site could damage your site if it was his lifelong goal to do so...

Thanks,

Rich

Dude, dont even bother with all taht stuff, just contact his host and let them know, they delete his account for sure, if not say you will contact authorities and file a lawsuit, this isnt a joke man dont play around with him. Just be straight on, if u need help contacting his host just tell me, ive dealt with people like this before
