It's a headache -- no question about it. Anything you guys who are based in the States can do to invoke the wrath of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act? I don't know if it's applicable but the MPAA and the recording industry have been milking it. Maybe write a letter or e-mail to the dude's hosting provider citing relevant passages and informing them that they're hosting stolen material? I hear you, fixedgear.

I can stick my pump in his spokes if you think that will help? Cory, CCL would be great if everybody played by the rules...but that leaves Blue Collar MTB in the position of having to find somebody to (maybe pro bono?) write a C&D letter to someone who obviously doens't give a rats ass.

The CCL states explicitly that, if people use your content they MUST credit you and your site. Originally, I considered holding a strict reign when it came to content on my site but I decided on the CCL when I thought about the benefits associated with it. That being said, it's pretty bush when someone lifts your content without commenting on it, adding something to it, or providing a link to the source. That sort of thing is common practice both in journalism and the media at large. If you have contact info and the plagiarism / theft continues, look at sending the offender a cease and desist letter from a lawyer. It's a headache, I know, but it'll get your content off his site in a heartbeat.
