I can see it's in an asian language. If it's in China there are no copyright laws, or the laws they have are not enforced. %70 of all software bought in China is pirated (just to prove my point) :)

the server it's located on appears to be in seoul, south korea. those copyright laws would then apply.

Was he in the referral logs because he's directly pulling images from your web site?

Never mind found this in his code:

<p align="center">Copyright(c)2000 SOFTNARA All rights reserved. <BR><BR><BR><A
href="http://t.extreme-dm.com/?login=4dweb" target=_top><IMG height=1 alt=""
src="softnara.files/i.gif" width=1 border=0></A>

The idiot left the counter in his code, so that serves him right :D

I sent the webmaster a polite email saying that if they dont remove it ASAP I would proceed with legal action.

Today the layout has been removed.
