We had the entire MALICO site stolen, content, layout, the works.  The site
disappeared and I never did find out who was behind the site.  I expect they'll
show up again with either my content or someone else's.  This may be why I find
this topic a little touchy.

Yes.  We are always on the lookout for better ways to protect content and design.
It's one thing for pieces to be used elsewhere, but to see a complete replica of
even an original layout is frustrating.--
