I have dealt with these type of folks before and DMCA threats mean very little to them. What hurts them is getting de-listed/penalized in search engines, particularly Google. I would suggest reporting to Google's web spam team. You can access the Google web spam form through Google webmaster tools.

- jreposa 18y agoGood lead. I found this: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93713 http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en... @calbers it agrees with you, but also states that I should file a DMCA takedown. "If you believe the content should be removed from Google's index because of a copyright infringement, you should file a DMCA takedown request. Unlike requests to remove spam or personal information, DMCA requests must come from the content owner." Thanks!
