I have recently noticed a site that has just ripped off my content completely including around 50mb of audio files and videos. They didnt even take the time to download them and upload it to their own server. I tried to email them but the email address they provided is fake.

I think this is freeola's business as well as this is just wasting their bandwith on a site which isn't paying!

I was just wondering what can i do about it?

the site is hotwired.tk
which is pointing towards http://www.geocities.com/hotwiredottk/mainpage.html
if you go into the audio files you can see that they are all linked to my site.

my site is funrunner.co.uk incase you didnt already know that.

What do you guys think i should do?

Change all the links he points to on your sites to something else - gay porn or a message that sites that rip off other sites bandwidths (you may want to name the site) are stealing.

I saw this once on ebay - one seller linked to a picture of a motherboard on someones site, the guy who ran the site twigged and changed the url to a hilarious sequence of pictures which illustrated the 'testing' the board being bidded on had been through (such as being run over, torched, etc). Twas quite a sight :O)

The only thing you can do is to email Geocities.

Look there.

That may help you.

Oh, and how did you find it in the first place?

I signed up to a link popularity thing. And it showed me that this site was linking to me so i decided to check it out.

They didnt even bother to change anything they just copied and pasted what was there :(

Where's this link thingy?

The only way I know how to do it is to search Google for sits linking to me or containg the name phi11ip...Although it is linked in one place as Dave?

Honestly, change the links his site points to to something extremely offensive about bandwidth theft. DO IT!
