Great information and I second the copysentry service. I use it and the weekly reports are helpful to find the whois info for quick contact. When I last signed up at copysentry
they had a buy 3 months - get 1 month free offer.
If you don't see it there, email them directly.
Two other suggestions:
1) we put the copyscape banner on all our content pages.
2) I have produced a form letter to send to offenders.
I tweak it for each instance, but I warn them if the content is not taken down in 72 hours, I will contact google and post the copyright violation to several gambling forums.
The last offender was a sad story. They admitted the copied text and took it down, but mentioned that they had paid a third party for the content. An expensive lesson for them.
