It is an anonymous browser proxy.  They weren't singling you out for attack.
Not that what they are doing is with in the TOS, or that they are doing good
things.  Just it wasn't an attack on you.

A. if Your SEO team had used rel canonical in the header this wouldn't have
happened.
B. you can block appspot from crawling your site by using the User agent 
C. You can file a DMCA complaint with Google Search results

There are a lot of these on AppEngine so even if you get this one removed
you should take the necessary steps to prevent it happening again, not just
on Appspot.

PS 
Appspot is out ranking you because of all of the Paid and Blog comment spam
links to your site.  You might be better to have the Proxy out rank you
because when it is gone you just won't rank, (looks like you are on the way
to delisted)

Subject: [google-appengine] 546ghyj.appspot.com - copyrights breaking
website

Hello,

Please, help us with an important organic SEO problem. Somebody uses
appspot.com for organiz SEO attack on our website.

We are owning a website www.studentswatch.pl (with SSL). Three weeks ago we
were on the top in google browser when submitting query "studentswatch",
"studentswatch.pl" and other similar words in polish language settings. We
have also launched adWords campaign.

However, if you set Polish language and type "studentswatch.pl the following
positions appear on top:

    1)
http://546ghyj.appspot.com/dHA6L3cudGRuc2FjLmxodHMvd3dzdWV0d3RocC8=

    2)
http://546ghyj.appspot.com/dHA6L3cudGRuc2FjLmxqa2RpbC10ZG5zYWNodHMvd3dzdWV0d
3RocC9hLXphYXN1ZXR3dGg=


The first one resembles our main page, the source code is identical with
regard to HTML (naturally, there's no original CSS). The second one is
similar to our https://www.studentswatch.pl/jak-dziala-studentswatch
. This is definitely an attack on our website with the reason of decreasing
our organic SEO and decreasing our traffic.

Moreover, the main domain  546ghyj.appspot.com/  is found to be a google's
search engine imitation!
This domain could be dangerous also to other websites and some action should
be taken immediately.

Please delete this website from your domain.

Thank you,
StudentsWatch.pl Team
