Yes, part of all the research is trying to find the email address or phone number of the site owner, as well as the hosting company and registrar. Keeps me busy!

That shows you mean business. It's not enough to simply write directly to them; you must report them to their hosting company, who has the power to take down the entire site if the owner of the site is doing something illegal.<br/><br/>Karyn I agree, BeeZee, and it’s also important to copy their hosting company and domain name registrar on the email you send.

Karyn ~ To build on my comment from your previous entry, don’t get mad when an International Coach Federation member scrapes your site – get even.

Tell them that not only are they violating Federal copyright law, they are also in violation of paragraph 3 of the ICF Code of Ethics, which states: “I will honor the efforts and contributions of others and not misrepresent them as my own.”

Then offer them this choice: they can either resolve this matter to your satisfaction within two business days, or by their inaction, have you report them to the ICF for disciplinary sanctions.

It’s an attention-grabber to be sure!
