I wanted to bring everyone up to date on this issue which has now been resolved. I finally got WildWest to get off their duff and start doing something. First they stripped the guys WhoIs proxy service, revealing what we already knew from forum member's research (nice to have it confirmed though). The guy then promptly bought it again and they stripped it again! They told me his contact info wasn't working. I said in that case his domain regstration for DynoNames.com should be cancelled as ICANN requires accurate WhoIs information. They sent me a letter asking me to send some more info on the copyright theft then they would consider revoking the domain.
I then sent a letter to Mr. Rachak (DynoNames owner) including the note from WildWest and informing him I was about to put him out of business. That prompted him to personally call me Friday and in that call he finally did something smart and was extremely apologetic. He claimed he was relatively new to the web and farmed out the website design (I know he did to someone in India) as well as the SEO work. He said his SEO guy told him to put some articles on the site to boost his page rank and that it was OK to take them from other sites as long as he put the source at the bottom. This of course is not true.
He told me he was not only taking down the material stolen from DNJ but was having the entire news section removed and he did promptly follow up on that. Odds are he was BSing me on not knowing what he was doing was wrong, and if he had not taken such a humble apologetic attitude in his call I would have pursued the matter but I can't continue to kick someone once they assume the fetal position. Will be interesting to see if his name ever appears in connection with this kind of thing again.
But still, I wish you best of luck!
