Mike Fullerton lives there. He might be able to help.

I should have read the whole thread first. He's already on it.

Cops are usually more sensitive to complaints from local citizens
(otherwise known as "voters").

I've saved a complete archive of my page from the site on my PC using
internet explorer's mhtml format, along with the file they've bundled with
it instead of mine. Helpfully, they've set the version info to say
"GoldfishFreebies" as the company!

If you want a copy of the stuff I've downloaded, please don't hesitate to
get in contact with me.

Hmmmn,

I emailed him yesterday and demanded he remove any reference to my
product and today I see it's gone.

Wish I had downloaded proof first.

An email went to the hosting company, theplanet.com located in Texas and
I'm about to amble over to godaddy tonight and advise them as well, as
Ash suggested.I also suggest to those who software is listed to take
legal action if you so desire. I'm also going to contact Google, as the
site has Adsense on it. I'm sure Google will be quite interested.

Good luck ! Looks like you got all the bases covered.

I'd be very interested to watch how Google react.

Yep. It's offline.... for now. We'll have to keep an eye on it in case
it makes a come back...
At least he's not "active" anymore.

He's probably reading this NG and knows that Mike has "dropped a dime" on
him. Keeping the site down for a while will hinder evidence gathering.

He's gone now.... breach of contract notice from the hosting company.
We'll still have to keep an eye out in case he reappears somewhere else.

Keep an eye on his Whois for the domain as it lists the server.
