If you have a good website some people may steal your design and/or text.
How to find out if your site has been copied:
Copy some specific text from your site e.g. one of your well written sentences.
Visit www.google.com
Paste your text into the search box (between quote marks ie: "your text here") and hit 'Search'.
You will see a list of sites with that exact text.
Check them out to see if they have blatantly copied your text and/or design.
What do about site copyers:
Make sure it is blatant copying e.g. lots of your text or design - things that they couldn't come up with by chance.
Inform them that you are onto them.
Find the earliest record of your site at: www.archive.org (this is a historical record of websites) it shows when you created your text / design.
Tell them to remove your content from their site.
You can: Report them to theira host and the search engines; talk to your solicitor about it.
1.) Get their IP with: http://www.samspade.org (or similar service).
2.) Then from the IP get their host with: http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html
3.) Report them to their host with a link to your site originality at http://www.archive.org
