And linking to the copyright violator is giving them just what they want: links. :(
Thanks for the recommendation, and sorry for your problem. Many try to confuse the issue, but copyright violation is copyright violation and illegal.
I hope they are complying and removing the content, but do take care when making these issues public. As I warn in the article, you can be held responsible for libel and defamation, which carries greater penalties. Educating your readers is critical. Risking your life and future is serious business.
Good luck and expect more of these creeps. There is big business in stealing content and making money on it. I also recommend you check out Plagiarism Today, my favorite source for help on copyright infringement issues.

Is this man a total stranger? How did you find out what he's doing? (At least you did find out!)
I am sorry this happened. But yeah, it's real flattery.
I agree that linking to his web site is not something you want to do, but part of me really want to see what he has done! :)
