Something that was already stated but worthy of restating.

if you have a very productive website ( IE: making real amounts of money ) do the following

incorporate your website
change all contact information with your registrar and do not forget to mark it private.
have everything go to a post office box.
your revenuue websites should not be hosted at the same location where you have personal web sites ( ip back tracing to you )

You ask WHY?

real simple, everyone that has a successful web site is being copied, and they are using every trick to steal whatever revenue you might be getting.

I myself have a decent revenue website and I am sure that it's not traceable to most of any of my forum names unless you are willing to review corporate filing ( not even in my state ) and a few other things.

Also, DO NOT BE AFRAID to file complaints against content theft. I do it almost weekly and I have no problems to report it to Google and the others. Kill off those content copiers. I pay a lot for my content and I make sure that others don't have the rights's to it.

Filing the complaint with proper documentation ( copyright claim, author, date of content purchase ...) will also have the effect of killing the copiers advertising account and blacklisting them across multiple search engines.

You must protect your revenue stream at almost all cost. ( that's why you use a PO BOX to protect your physical home from someone knocking at your door ).

well best if luck too all, and this thread is a great one
