i think that the whole dsource site must be shut down and

now it does more harm than good.
Alternatively: use robots.txt and don't let Google index that.
This will not help: clawling != indexing, and robots.txt only
stops crawling. robots.txt will not prevent a site from appearing
in Google search results, and it will not help in lowering a
site's search popularity. All it'll do is prevent Google from
showing snippets of Dsource pages, and indexing links from
DSource.
The existing search result ratings for DSource are because of all
the existing links to it, and not so much because of the content
on DSource.
