Hi TFUG,
I seem to have a problem as of late. My website seems to have been copied, at least in part, and placed on others' websites.
I have run into two such offenders in the last 2 months. Last year a ran into someone off-shore who copied my website and translated it into his broken English.
A month or so ago I found that someone had copied my entire website. Two phone calls and he took it down.
Yesterday I found a site that had used 5 or 6 pages off my site.
I take a screen shot for my records and have drafted a cease and desist letter.
Because of the experience I had a month or so ago where after the first phone call the person just renamed the index page. Purely by accident I found he had done so, so I called him back and he assured me my website was removed from his hosting.
Because of this last incident I would like to find a way to query the hosting account and pull the entire site off and store it locally and then do a recheck once the offender states my content is no longer on his hosting account.
Any ideas. Preferably it would run on Win-XP and only need a domain name and a place to store the retreived content.
Thanks in advance.
Keith
