Slashdot usually does the trick.

&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; I have strong suspicions and evidence that somebody used big parts of
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; the LFS-HOWTO I wrote on his website (to be more specific: almost that
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; entire website looks like almost a copy of the HOWTO in the key parts).
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; Naturally, the HOWTO mentions that the HOWTO is copyrighted under LDP
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; copyright &amp; licence policies.
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt;
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; I've emailed this person about this and asked what is going on. In him
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; and I can't something out, is there anything that can be done about it?
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; I know the license allows redistribution and such, but I can't find
&lt;CITE&gt;&gt; anything about plagiarizing.
&lt;CITE&gt;
&lt;CITE&gt;I've faced something like this in the past: someone copied a FAQ I
&lt;CITE&gt;wrote, after removing all the information identifying me as the author.
&lt;CITE&gt;
&lt;CITE&gt;My feeling is that it's permitted, morally and legally, to copy and
&lt;CITE&gt;re-distribute FAQs, How-Tos, and similar documents, but that it's
&lt;CITE&gt;improper to remove the information identifying the author or to claim
&lt;CITE&gt;to have written them oneself.
&lt;CITE&gt;
&lt;CITE&gt;If someone copied your How-To on his WWW site, claiming or implying
&lt;CITE&gt;that he wrote it himself, I'd complain to him and to his ISP if
&lt;CITE&gt;necessary.
