I recall (but cannot find) a story of someone that this happened to. The copycat in his case was not very sophisticated and just did a direct copy clone of the source site. His solution (IIRC) was to add some simple javascript that detected if the host was the copycat site and redirected(?) the visitor to the real site (his).
When the copycat site did a verbatim copy, it picked up the javascript as well and solved the problem.

- gvb 8y agoThe concept is you update your script.js with the code to check the source and redirect if the source is hackertyper.com and then get the copycatter to copy your New Improved source as his script.js. Unfortunately, I see the copycat edited your source so he is unlikely to fall for the "update" trick since he would likely see and understand the redirection when he re-edited any changed script.js that you provide. You would also need to have some New Improved features in your script.js to entice him to re-copy your source with the redirect - the copycatter doesn't really have any reason to re-copy your script.js. :-/
