    How very cheeky

    I'd email now and call to "point him in the right direction"

    Find it quite ironic/funny that your template is designed by webnika

    I had an identical situation with my website. My emails went ignored so I contact the hosting company to inform them of the plagiarism and they sorted it out for me.

    Interesting.... everything on the copycat site is being pulled from your template folders.... including the CSS files.

    If you change the name of the folder.... it won't work on his site anymore! LOL

    Or you could do what one member on here once did.... leave files with those names, but change what appears (ie change the names of your files and your script to match, but have different files / images under the original names so that you put complete nonsense up on the copy-cat site).

    If I recall, the member who previously did this put up a picture under the original file name that said something like "The owner of this website steals their images from other companies." or similar.

    That WILL be the next option if he doesn't take it down by the weekend.
    I would,however,recommend that everyone keeps an eye on his url because your site could be next!

    I remember this happening. Quite clever it was, too!

    Yes, this has been a common practice on the Internet for a long time now - you'll find that some image hosting sites will do something similar, if you upload a copyrighted image and link to that.
