Hi David,
Is there any way to publicize this person, to out him, to report him
to any sanctions organization? I guess I'm wondering if there is any
way to control this kind of behavior.
I was glad to see the quik response you get from the original host.
That's encouraging.

Yes. As I mentioned in another post, I put in a DMCA takedown notice

I am just checking and seeing that the contact listed in the WHOIS
record is completely false. I'm a bit involved with ICANN through my
work with the Internet Society - I'm going to check if there's
anything can be done to suspend the domain, though I'm doubtful.

Certainly it's surprising to find your whole site copied - especially
in that way - but I don't think it's a complete disaster when stuff
like that happens. For myself, I'm mostly interested in making things
and having people watch/use/whatever. Someone copying my content
doesn't hamper those

Good to hear that you resolved this.
Interestingly, video blogs should be particulatly good at preventing things

I feel your pain... I believe such content thefts have been around since the
birth of blogs/rss... it's classified as Splogs or spam blogs.
Wired had a story about the trend back in 2006:

This is not uncommon. It's a splog essentially. Just haven't seen it done
in awhile.
You're on the right track with DMCA.
Don't freak out though... they're not hurting you directly... not like your
blog getting infected with a virus, or your domain name being held hostage.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll keep you all posted on what happens.
It looks like it's even worse than imagined. It's not just a copy but
the site is doing a live real-time mirror of my site and automatically
replacing all references to eevblog with war video blog, even in
the forum posts!:
Well, it didn't take long:

10 minutes after me sending the DMCA takedown notice to the web host!

David,
I think another lesson to learn here is also that you can get anyone to get
your site taken down just by the accusation of impropriety. If you think
about the other side of that coin, you can see someone abuse that power as
well. I am not suggesting that you are in any way rushing to

Great job David, and again I didn't want suggest anything derogatory. I
remember Google giving some numbers last year at about this time that
indicated that competitors would send DMCA notices to hosts to take out
competitors and it just reminded me of that study. Again, I actually did a
