We've merged some spam threads all started about the same time. I know it can be a hot topic, so let's all keep calm and friendly as always. :-)

The spam report page is linked from Google's quality guidelines [google.com] page. Ultimately, Google will decide what they do and don't want to list.

needinfo, if someone has stolen from you then it goes far beyond a search engine 'spam' issue. I suggest you consider legal avenues, although jurisdictions can be a problem of course. Also, see Google's page on copyright infringement [google.com].
