Don't lose sight of your objective Temi The objective is NOT to stop this site using your content, it is to stop it affecting your rankings and traffic. Getting it removed from Google will do this.

Cheers James,
I will be contacting Google today

Make sure the DMCA claim is completed properly.

Have you got a copyright notice on Habba? If not then add one now.

Temi better stop sending those emails now!

This is just habaa.com viewed through an anonymous web proxy... Nothing is duplicated or copied.

Anonymization.net to be exact.

Using a proxy and allowing it to be spidered IS breaching copyright though. It is also passing off which is illegal under UK law.

I would have thought that is apparent to any righ thinking person. Just like me taking a copy of their website and uploading it to my site without their permission

I wouldn't have thought it was with malicious intent. It only takes someone to post a link in some random forum then google picks up the link and spiders it.

There are thousands of these kinds of proxies around and they all work exactly the same way.

You simply enter a url and into the form and it loads that site up with the intentions of keeping you anonymous. I would guess the server keeps a cache just like your everyday browser does but its not storing complete copies of websites.

These proxies are most often used by people who are protected by outbound firewalls that have certain sites blocked from their system such as schools and colleges.

Mrcrowley,
You have just stated the legitimate use of a proxy, there is also the dark hat use it can be put to just to noble a website, latter is what I am battling again.
Also, a good proxy caches a content for a limited time and clears it cache usually every 24 hours or so and it does not display the cached item publicly, this has help my sites contents online for weeks.
The site in question, the email address associate with the domain does not work, the telephone number does not work either, smells like a rat to me.

malisciousness was not the case here, the intent makes absolutely no difference. it is the OUTCOME that is the issue.

Google have spidered The content of one site as the content of another. Proxies are totally illegal, as it is not acceptable to STEAL the content of another site. REGARDLESS of why they exist, this proxy is displaying copyrighted material without the owners permission which is ILLEGAL

Google MUST remove this content as they are aiding the crime.

As I said, I for one am not interested in the intention, it is the outcome that concerns me and this material needs to be taken out.
