Good question Noah. Heres what I posted in another thread on this topic:
Quote:
If someone steals your content or is intentionally trying to damage your business legal recourse is available. Additionally you as an individual can:
* Report the offenders to the search engines they are targeting
* Report the offender to their webhost and advise them you want the person to cease and desist immediately
* Report the person to the affiliate program(s) you see them promoting
* Publically embarrass the shit out of the offenders on every forum that will allow you to do so
* Take whatever technical counter measures you have access to
Collectively we are urging our partners to NOT reward these bad affiliates and to instead cut off their incentive to do these tricks by forfeiting their commissions.
