How about you use JS to make a new div which pops up over the whole site selling your services? If you do that in a way thats hard to detect how its going on then the pirates will have no choice but to give in.

It's so blatant I can't believe they thought they'd get away with it - shocking ...
Loving your use of jQuery on the Pro Line site though - that drop-down on the Products link is very nice indeed ... the kind of eye-candy that has my boss wetting himself

It's not even subtle, is it? The scumbags!
I really like your designs, by the way
Once I have the skills, I'd like to try something like that.

What I find really odd is that you've designed some pretty stunning sites, and yet your blog/homepage is awful.
High contrasting colours which tire the eye, strange font size differentiation, and it doesn't work in a small browser window.

I remember having those exact thoughts when I've seen that site in the past, although I can't talk, my own site is appauling but I never get round to finishing my new one.
OT: Zed and the Hub are two of my favourite bars, few mins walk from my flat, The Box and The Arc are good places too.
how did you know they copied your site?
(not a sarcy post I really bit confused as to how trawling through net you managed to find a site that is yours)
Or you just stumble upon it
From the original post:
They copied it in so much detail, they left a bit of code pointing to their own server - which of course when looking through stats, they'll see this code being loaded with a different referrer than it should be.
I checked you out last month (it's good for my lot to keep tabs on the local competition!) We were pretty impressed with your stuff though, specially the iPhone do-hickey whatsit.
I guess we'll have to start being very careful with our code too.
Love the Kobe site, very very nice. Would you ever use the main premise (but change the design yourself) for another customer or start completely from scratch out of principle to the original customer?
It's most likely from the same company!

Your sites copyrighted, so if you can prove yours is the original, sue them for copyright infringement?
What about talking to a private detective or whoever deals with this to investigate this, and knows all the laws etc regarding plagurism?(sorry for my spelling if wrong)

I think a DMCA form to their webhost is standard procedure for this sort of thing. If they are in Turkey it would probably be more hassle than it's worth to do anything more.
