finding an address for a thief

[Pami1968]

I am not quite as computer-savvy as many of the people here, so I was
wondering, how do I go about finding the email address for a site that has
published my stories without my permission. If you can find it for me, great!
And if you can give me a quick lesson on finding it myself, even better! The
site is www.xtremeheat.com.

Two addresses for WHOIS are:

The database has been split, so sometimes you have to try the
secondary link.

Put the last part of the URL in the box and press enter.

Administrative contact is there. Sometimes the Administrative
contact are the same people, but here it appears to be another
company providing Web hosting for them. Contact information
from their home page gives this link:

If they were to be uncooperative, you could try going upstream
by looking up their domain servers in WHOIS. Sometimes the
same people own their own domain servers, in that case you
would look up the dotted quad with ARIN, or APNIC, or RIPE:

http://www.arin.net/whois/arinwhois.html

http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl

http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/whois

Those databases are also being broken up amongst various
countries, but these tools should take care of almost
everything.

I disagree.

Exodus is often unresponsive in the best of times. Ability.net
is the site provider, and they should be the first contact.

This link was pointed out to me:

http://www.enterprise.southofboston.com/display/inn_news/News/news01.txt

While false information can be used to register sites, I think
that this is the same person.

Well, I tried Kadet first, wanting to play nicey-nice. No response. Twice.
Big Surprise.

I have now sent email to Ability.net. I am interested to see how they resolve
the matter.

Thanks for your help and advice!
