Copying content - reporting?

I discovered a similar issue today myself that someone had high jacked my old information pages, prices and everything exactly word for word, table layout, coding, the entire thing to offer the same services I do.

Send them a polite and courteous email the first time, asking that they come up with another solution, if they don't reply or ignore your request show proof that you own the content/code in question, email a DMCA notice to their hosting company and hope that takes care of it.

If the host ignores the DMCA complaint, you can always hire a lawyer.

Actually, you'd be surprised just how necessary a lawyer can be in a situation like this:

I made a YouTube video which a lot of work went into, and a week later someone had taken my video and added an advertisement for an unrelated site right at the beginning of it. Below's the message I sent them.

I need you to remove your infringing copy of my VoodooBall video as soon as possible. I will be filing a copyright complaint within the next few days if it remains up, and I am well within my rights to pursue action under the DMCA against you, as I have given no authorization to anyone to use my video in such a manner.

I appreciate your cooperation in this.

I believe the video was gone the very same day.
