Might not be the right section but here goes.

My Dad builds weather stations and sells them to local clubs such as the local model flying club. He found out recently that another website is copying his URL and using the data on their own site and branding it as their own.

Is there anyway he can limit the data to only go to his site and not another for example?

Dads site: http://www.woodspringwings.co.uk/weather.html

Rogue site: http://www.amarc2002.co.uk/index.php/weather/gordano-weather

Just so you know all the data is being hosting on my Dads hosting so already I understand they are stealing his bandwidth and stuff, but what can be done?
 
That sounds like a plan. I have linked him to this site so he can read any replies so I will see what he says. I was hoping there would be some form of validation that would be possible to prevent access so thats good news.
 
We have found out the IP address of the host of the site. We have tried to block the IP address using TSOhost's tools on their CPanel but this is proving fruitless. Any ideas on how to go about this?
 
Yes they have been contacted but no reply. Also we did change the address etc of the data but within a few days they had redirected it back to their site so to speak.

Oh and about the right clicking, the site itself is the model flying club site, but the content in the iframe is my Dads. The club basically bought a weather station from my Dads business and are paying for the data (or something like that, not to sure). I already made a comment that the right clicking is annoying but its not our site to change unfortunately.
 
Hi All

It seems the situation has been resolved now without having to block anything. The 2 clubs talked to each other and the rogue site has been removed.

My Dad wants to thank you all for you help and advice. He really appreciated it. So thanks! :D
