Not sure what the law is in the US, but I think its the same the world
over - if they republish your material, that will be in breach of copyright.
Can you grab a cached snapshot of their page from Google? That will
prove it.
Suggest you write to them and say you will sue them for breach of
copyright / claim legal costs from them unless they quit.

Hello Tim,
Can understand that your fairly miffed. Just remember that it really
is a compliment.
Write to them and let them know that they should have asked permission
and that you would like the feed to be removed asap.
If they don't respond to your request then you could consider asking a
lawyer write a demanding letter. That usually works.
Another reminder really that we should have a better understanding of
IP and copyright - but I'm quite sure that it is commercial law which
means you may need to cough up some doh to pursue
All the best,
Melissa.

Dear Group,
Doing a google check with allinurl:hereticpress.com/ I discovered my
site was being duplicated on another site
http://literature-universe.info/siteinfo.php/www.hereticpress.com/Dogstar/Novels/NUNC.html
I get an access denied error 403 when trying to see my content on
their site. The person concerned is listed as:

I changed my .htaccess file to give him a graphic saying stolen
content from hereticpress.com
Is there a law against this in the USA, can I report Gregg Ostrick to
any interested authority in the USA? I hope he likes my graphic:-)
