Well this sucks. There isn't useful whois data and I can't find any contact
information on the site. Anyone see something that I'm missing at 3:43AM?

Subject: Why do people keep stealing my work :(
Someone alerted me to this site tonight where they copied about 1,000 words
straight from my web page.
http://www.industryplayer.com/licenceinfo.php?licid=014060
In the "license research report" section, everything up to the Newton
paragraph is plagiarized from my site.
There is a link at the bottom of the page but there's no explanation to
visitors about which facts came from which sites. It's one thing to quote a
sentence or to set off a block paragraph, but blatantly copying 1,000 words
pisses me off so much. They took some pictures as well which aren't mine,
but which I had explicit permission from their owners to use.
Also at the bottom, it says "researched by..." -- they call a simple Google
search and cut-and-paste session "research" these days? That's pathetic.
I will try contacting the site owners with my complaint. Hopefully it wil
get rectified like last time.
