Hi Sandy;

I've had this happen with a lot of my written work.  I used to publish an
online ezine that was related to my previous business, and found my articles
plastered all over the web without my permission.  99% of the time the
offender agreed to remove the text and provide a link instead, but there
was one person who refused.  I contacted her ISP and explained the
situation; they don't approve of their clients breaking the law, much less
using their local providers to do so (especially the ones who are providing
the space for the offender's web site).  I would contact this person's
service
provider, and send them a copy of the emails that have transpired thus far.
Since the offender has apparently admitted in the emails that the work is
not his/hers, I'm sure their service provider will step in and take action,
since
it IS against the law.

Hope this helps.
