I was checking the statistics of our company website and I noticed a unusually high number of hits incoming from another design company's website...

Well sure enough they copied our entire site design, scripts, and even the text!!!

Their contact page even has our company's contact information and their portfolio is listing our clients!!! What the hell can we do about this? They have no contact info no their page otherwise i'd threaten them with a lawyers note.

Can I atleast report their site to somebody?? Search Engines or anyone?

BTW our site is http://www.eWebDevelopment.net

and the site copying ours is http://www.designplays.com/test.htm

Obviously it's in test production but they're stealing our original design!!

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Best Regards,
Brian B.

They didn't hardly even change the code. And they left your copyright information in the Source Code of the document. But you better hurry and file that suit before they discover that they made that little error.
