---- Help, my content's been stolen even before I've used it!

The content is his alright. I have no doubt about it. Apart from the fact that some of it is in Wayback Archive the content matches his style, his odd expressions, his very rare punctuation mistakes, the works. It's unmistakably his. I've compared it with work I know he's done. Also, the sites that are using this content are sites that are using other "borrowed" content and hardly the type of sites to have come up with the articles themselves. He was very, very meticulous with the handing over and I have copyright over all the content with nobody else having any permission to use any of it. (I even have every single email he's ever sent or received on that domain including the ones where he did give some educational institutions permission to use some of his images.)

To trace who is using each of the several hundred articles - then pursue what maybe thousands of thieves - may not be economical; the site earns about $50-$60 per day, not millions.

My concern is not with getting them shut down but the questions I had in my original post.
