Accept no imitations

Now, this is ridiculous: at the URL http://www.overlawyered.blogspot.com/ (no, I'm not going to give it a live link) someone or other has erected a pseudo-blog under the heading, "Overlawyered", followed by a verbatim swipe of the paragraph ("Overlawyered explores an American legal system...") which for years stood atop this site's sidebar and currently stands atop our "about us" page. The imitation-Overlawyered blog has relatively little content, but one of its entries (dated May 05, 2006) consists of excerpts swiped verbatim from a post of Ted's of Feb. 16, 2006 on this site about a South Texas legal case.

Other content on the pseudo-Overlawyered site suggests that the author(s) take an interest in the South Texas legal scene, and have established a large group of blogspot entities which blogroll each other under the banner of "Team Kenedeno" (more at http://teamkenedeno.blogspot.com/). These interlocking sites often sport not very accurate names such as corpuschristicallertimes.blogspot.com, microsoftdotcom.blogspot.com, and exxonmobile.blogspot.com, and at least one of them (at http://wattslawfirm.blogspot.com/) also contains a more extensive verbatim swipe from Ted's Feb. 16, 2006 post, mentioned above.

I looked around for a while, but failed to find any appropriate "report abuse" procedure on the Blogspot/Blogger site. The nearest thing was a "Flag Objectionable Content" button which apparently triggers a review for hate speech, obscenity, etc., but does not offer any way of reporting the rather different problem arising here. Reader suggestions are welcome.

Update from Ted: "We've contacted the appropriate people. Thanks for everyone's help."
