Hi Rob,

this guy bought a domain name and not the website (presumably) so he is breaching your Intellectually property (or rather whoever owns the IP) he shouldn’t be using it unless he has written permission.

My friend is part of a Agricultural Society committee for this small town in Ontario Canada. (Marmora) They had a web site created by a former member who resigned. …Long story short; the domain name (http://www.mas-online.org) was bought up by someone in Turkey who maintains the site including the files.

I volunteered my services and recreated the site with a more appropriate name; (http://www.marmorafair.org) and updated the files for them.

Does this gentleman in Turkey have the right to keep these files with the ownership of the old domain name? I would think he is violating the copyrights of the org.

Any thoughts?

It has long been a black hat trick to mirror a site onto a higher page rank url structure, and by doing this, the original page will be filtered out at the time of search as being the lesser important page. it IS effectively you taking you out of google, as no-one wants to be in the google database, they want to be in the Search results. I blogged about this a while back Old Welsh Guy The Google Expert � Beating the Content Thieves – stolen website content one of the main things you need to do is file a DMCA report (instructions in blog post). let them have their copy of the site, but focus first on getting Google to remove them. They are far more likely to respond to a DMCA report than a spam report, as the DMCA report is a legal matter while spam is a quality issue __________________ Internet Marketing Consultancy – SEO Agony Uncle – Web Design Wales in browser self edit websites [...]

It’s funny you should mention the India SEO company in your post. I just finished a bit of a “diatribe” on my blog that highlights my experiences with SEO firms in India. Never have I seen so many bad apples in one tree.

Here’s my position:

Brilliant Article – one of the best I’ve read recently.

We have a problem with the same person copying a customer site – we fight to have it taken down and he just pops it up under a different name. The host (HostExcellence) doesn’t want to know – says we need a court order before they’ll act. (Any ideas on how we can force the issue?) The ‘copycat’ has registered the current domain name with ‘Domains by Proxy’ so we can’t contact him directly.

John, The sites are nothing like each other, you would not have a claim.
