Thanks,
I have blocked IPs collecting email address as well, everyday, more and
more IP email address collectors. Sorry for the ban on some Melbourne
IPs Lawrence. I have most things spam proof, email addresses hidden in
javascript and lots of fake emails addresses on pages with META tags
noindex nofollow. I have a bog-trag as well which robots can stuck in
which creates endless fake email addresses.
http://www.hereticpress.com/Private/members.foo
If a robot follows such pages I ban them by IP and sometimes
user-agent, Not an accessible solution, but I have had pirates take
content before and display my pages in in a frame on their own site.
The google cached version of the page seems to be after they removed my
content.
I never reach for lawyers, I also have the domain
http://www.avoidlawyerspicnics.com
If I open up the site and remove most of the banned IPs, I will get
thousands of visits from bad-bots who serve no purpose at all. Sorry
for anyone denied access unjustly, should I cast all fears aside and
open it up completely. I would like my author's content protected, but
do not wish to deny access to legitimate browsers.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

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

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:-)

Tim,
Your .htaccess is a little dangerous as a response. It's blocking
Melbourne,
Australian IPs. I can't view your site on certain networks I'm working
with..
Apart from that I second what Melissa Cooper suggested. Going for the
'jugular'
as it were immediately doesn't give them appropriate means for
recourse.. which
is why most of the design pirates I've had to deal with, they have
usually lost
due to simple logical attrition. I've only reached for the lawyers when
absolutely necessary..
