Copying Text From Other Websites?
If someone is copying text from your website without permission is it possible to get them taken down by their host?

depends on the host, but most likely not unless you send them a C&D letter.

It's a grey area - and I assume you are talking about porn - and who is to say who made what first? I'd say MOOT

It's copyrighted material and covered by the DMA I'd say. Absolutely. Black and white to me.

Send their host this letter below. Had my Attorney write this up a few years ago and I have had to send it over a dozen times. Seems to get their attention.
Hostname: It recently has come to our attention that a customer of yours is violating Federal Copyright Laws and The Lanham Act by using (insert your text here) on their web site at (insert your text here) This web site has been traced to the IP (insert your text here) which shows your company to be the registered owner of that IP. As you know, (insert your text here) owns and maintains the (insert your text here) Web site. (insert your text here) owns exclusive trademarks and copyrights to the (insert your text here) in the United States and internationally. (insert your text here) has made a substantial investment in developing and providing its services and has acquired a tremendous amount of goodwill and brand equity. As we hope you can appreciate, (insert your text here) is concerned that your customers unauthorized use of the (insert your text here) may cause confusion as to whether your customers activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by (insert your text here) when, in fact, they are not. Federal and state laws, including the Lanham Act provides a trademark holder to recover (1) defendant's profits, (2) any damages sustained by the plaintiff, and (3) the costs of the action. The court shall assess such profits and damages or cause the same to be assessed under its direction. Infringers who have been notified of such infringing activity, but do not cease their infringements, may also be considered "willful" and could be subject to additional money damages. Having received this e-mail, you are on such notice. More information on trademark law may be found at http://www.fplc.edu/tfield/aVoid.htm. Nonetheless, under the circumstances, we must insist that you: (1) force your customer to stop using (insert your text here) in their website; (2) do not use such name on an active web site; If you choose to ignore your violation legal action will be filed. Please confirm (by responding to this email) that you will comply as requested above. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. (insert your text here) Legal Department |

If it's simply SIMILAR, then thats another story. If it's exact code, then it's yours.

i think he is talking about "exact code"
I have noticed several "seo" sites that have created sites that pull the contents of almost every page out there.. they even copy my copyright notice LOL. Basically how it works is , if you rank high for a keyword like BLACK PORN this guy creates a bot that crawls the first 20 sites listed on google and copies portions of the "text" and combines them to form a page seo'd for "black porn" .. it doesnt seem to work very well.. Ill try to show an example for everyone.. to test if your being "scraped" just look for a unique text on your page like COPYRIGHT MYSITE.COM ont he bottom , but it in quotes and search it on google. see if any other sites have your text

This is just plain search engine scraping..
http://porn-sex-videos.sweetsluts.info/ ( see bottom ) but what he is talking about is this PLUS it goes one step further and crawls each of those sites fr text contents.

Yeah I would think it can't hurt that much because there must be some sort of distinction within the search engines but the thought that it does is always there.

Not sure if it will hurt you or not. But maybe passing the info to the SE will help keep you frome being hurt by it.

try searching for a sample c&d letter online and then I guess send it to them and their host, won't really cost you anything more than a stamp... and when they see a physical letter, good chance they will act on it to avoid any problems...
