Jazzmine,

Obviously, your attitude is great as are the responses you've already received.

Google doesn't take kindly to copyright infringement. They remove the infringers web site from their index until the material in question is removed from the offenders web site. It appears to me that you have all the information you need to prove your statement that the copy is yours.

I'll look for a link, so you can submit a complaint if you wish. From what I understand, it's not that difficult or time consuming to process a complaint. In most cases I've read, the complaint is from one web site owner against another who has copied an existing web site. Your situation may throw google a curve, but I wouldn't think so. It seems pretty clear to me, but then my name isn't google.

What do you think?
