I know this is Off Topic, but I'm sure someone on this list will have some
ideas.

A client of mine has found someone using his intellectual property without
authorization (no, it is not p0rn!).  This is not the first this happened,
so he proceeds to go to internic.net and look up the registrar info.  Well,
needless to say, the phone number is bogus, and the address turns up nothing
in reverse lookup (but the address appears valid, but it is in the midwest).
My client calls his web host, who of course won't give out any info (which
is understandable), but they do slip and inform my client that he has *many*
sites hosted with them.

My questions to you are:
1. Can you think of any other way to get info on this guy?
2. Any way to find out what domains he has registered?  His internic record
didn't have a handle that you could search by - I'm not sure, that may only
be a Network Solutions thing, and he didn't register with NS.

The guy is now "on the run".  He took down the site, and deactivated his
email address.  My client's concern is that this fellow will just take the
stolen property and put it on another site.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tom
