How can i contact the owner of this site over copyright theft
-
Hi i am getting a bit fed up of people stealling our content and now i have come across this site that has stolen content from us but cannot find any email address or contact details and would like to know how to contact them or how to stop this site from stealling our work.
here is the site
any help would be great

good news, the content has been removed. i contacted the website they did not reply and contacted the person the website was working for and told them we would take legal action as we have done this before. they replied and have instructed the website to take down the content.
now a question. shall i still contact the hosting company and tell them what has been going on so the site is closed as it seems they are dong this to other people.
this company behind the website is working for a hypnotherapist by building links and driving traffic to the site, would love to know who the company is.
through checking i have found yesterday that the same company had taken a large number of content from us but now they have all vanished.
this is very wrong and i am just wondering if the hypnotherapy company knew what was going on or not?
this company seems to have different websites building links pretending it is fresh content.
would be interested to know more about them and what they have been charging to steal our content

I've had this happen to me on numerous occassions. I used www.copyscape.com to find the infringing material.
I first contact Google and Yahoo to have the content removed from search results. Next, a few days later, I send a DMCA complaint letter to the hosting company and the website will be removed, usually within a few hours. Then, the website owner will usually contact you and you can discuss as to how he/she will remove your content from their website.

just looked at that link colin but not sure which one i should tick. it list products but do not say anything about content theft or other site etc, any advice would be great. i have contacted him and will see if he contacts me back. tried the who is, but when i filled it in it would not send kept on saying about the address field not filled in, but i filled it in.

Looks to me like an article farm. Basically, a link directory disguising itself as a blog for purposes of building links. Probably not the sort of site you actually want a link from.
I would contact the guy who runs it to see if he can be reasonable about not stealing your content. If he won't comply, I'd report him to who.is like the other poster recommended, and report him to Google here:

thanks for this. can anyone let me know what this site is about and how articles get on there. it seems to me some sort of marketing site as the article that they have stolen is http://caiii.com/weight-loss-hypnotherapy-has-become-a-vital-tool-for-weight-loss/ and the link in the article as well as the bottom of the article is a link to our competitor.
if anyone has more information about this site then i would love to hear it.

Shows it registered to someone named Tran Khanh

Good luck!

look this site up on who.is and there should be a link at the bottom "Is this domain infringing on your copyright?" - could give that a go...

Does using Articlebase articles on your site push your rank down?
Hello All, I launched a website (www.hrpayrollsystems.net) last year. I'm very new to the SEO world so I'm still seeing what works and what doesn't. We recently republished some articles from articlebase.com that I think may have hurt us in SEO. Does Google see our site as having duplicate content and then penalize us? Our top keyword isn't even ranking anymore when I put it in the sites that tell you where you show up. Help!

How can I rank using translated content?
My friend has a website with similar content to mine, in a different language however. He has allowed me to translate his content if I link to it every post (can be nofollow). Does Google penalize me for clearly translated content? How can I make sure it ranks well? BTW, if I convince him that I don't link to him, is it better SEO-wise? Best,

Blog content practices for e-commerce sites
What is the best practice in regards to content for e-commerce blogs on the same domain as the web-store (blog.storename.com)? What balance of content should be on the blog vs. the item & section pages or doesn't it matter?
