thought about it but would I want to offer my email to them? I was hoping that an htaccess rule might stop them. But I don’t know of one:)

Sure you could block visitors based on the referrer, but it won’t make the copies go away. It will just block leads.

As Dale said, if you want to stop what they are doing, the only method is ask them to take it down. But that could be impossible, at least for free, especially when it’s possibly a spam network we are talking about.

Re: [SEMI SOLVED] stollen content: how's it done and what to do

The problem is that the texts we have are submitted by the authors under certain conditions.

Checking their code it seems that they have an old version of the page. In fact we don’t use <script src="http://neme.org/main/styleswitcha.js" type="text/javascript"></script> any more.

… as I was writing this, I came up with a solution

Added a javascript with the above name

setTimeout('Redirect()',2);
function Redirect()
{
location.href='http://www.neme.org/310/anarchism-representation-and-culture';
}

which redirects to our page.

Does google recognise js redirects?
