Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

someone copied my website design. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under 17 U.S.C. § 106, substantially similar.

Nolo and Avvo have directories if you need to find someone who does this type of case.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
