I wrote a nice thorough reply but lost it to a damned "Cannot find server" error. Don't you just hate that?

Anyway, the gist of it was that it is probably not worth the trouble of doing everything you can do about it, like contacting his host and registrar and sponsors about copyright theft. And, since he is by definition a loser and an asshole already, be wary of his trying to get payback by variuous dirty tricks in response.

Send him a simple informal cease and desist email, record his whois info, copy the stolen pages to your hard file so you have proof if you want to follow it up later, and maybe publish the offense and the whois on whatever boards you frequent. Be ready to expose him if he shows his face and pulls more tricks.
