It appears the owner has turned to the dark side. Without getting into too much of a cat and mouse game, what about some very basic counter measures?

Indeed, there is another domain suffix "protected" so you cannot tell who registered it. At least I didn't know about this additional one until today.

What is it, it is not .net as far as I can tell, which seems to be available.

.info (72.52.206.10)

Isn't the site is violation of some aspect of some license of some form? If that is the case, make him release his source, or stop, or whatever we can find to make this go away.

It is a violation: all rights for access to content on macports.org are RESERVED. We can technically already slap him with a takedown notice.

Can you find the ISP? I do not think there would be a lot of luck hitting up register.com, as domain take downs are a nasty road to go down.

208.185.168.32.zipmath.com (208.185.168.32)

Additionally, the .info trace ends here:
vz223.liquidweb.com (72.52.206.76)

Unless someone tells me it is a bad idea, I would like to send Matt a friendly email, telling him he is doing more harm than good, and ask him to shut the site down, or redirect it to an appropriate spot. Ideally he would give up the domain name.

I'd suggest reviewing the pervious correspondence first. Does anyone have a link to the email archives?
