Make sure, if this is necessary, that you explain he isn't cooperating with your removal request. It doesn't sound as though you would have any trouble proving he is using YOUR content since he is quoting you. Most hosting sites will act on a copyright complaint if you can prove your claim and if the violator is not cooperative. If not, your only recourse would be legal--OR...making sure you post your OWN data online as you would like it to appear. Then people can compare what he has vs. what you show and decide for themselves which to accept. ---------------- I agree with Joan's suggestion here of contacting the hosting website. Whether or not you actually have a copyright claim you can win, most hosting companies will take down the data if requested, rather than chance the expense of a copyright claim. Plus, if they do respond, they cannot be held liable of copyright infringement (or abetting it) themselves. You could also quote the email he sent to you after your email requested he take down the material. I am sure that as before getting access to web space, this person signed something (or acknowledged) that said they would not post the copyrighted works of others on their site. Thanks, Joan, for your suggestion! James
