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.

This involves content I created over the past 34 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've dealt with this before.

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