One can always try to contact the ones hosting the site. Sure, might completely ignore you, but at least itis a try and suprisingly often it works. I once found someone that had simply copied several parts of my Guide and put it on a web page. I asked them to simply add some credits (didn't mind it otherwise), they didn't want to so I mailed the ones hosting the site and after a few exchanges of mails, they had appearantly asked the ones running the page to add the credit (or else.... never got to know what they said but the credits did appear). I really have no idea how hosts in Poland reacts (could be it is hosted outside Poland though).
As an interesting sort of related issue, I remember when the school union at my University got their home page "stolen". Baiscally they used the layout and all such and pluged in their own info. The thing was, they forgot to change one link to what was basically just a picture of a one pixle line or something. So we cought lots of traffic (requests) from their site. It was a political party on the very far right wing with quite a hard anti forigner policy. Anyway, so we (well the school union, I was not part of it) changed the picture to one of, I think, Martin Luther King holding a speech or something, which thus poped up on the middle of their pages. It quickly made them change their pages to something very new. The fun thing is that one can still read on their pages how they had their pages "hacked" in that incident as oposed to them having stolen the layout and forgot to change a link (for the interested swedish readers, it was sverigedemokraterna and they took it from tlth). Oh well. Be happy they don't grab the pictures and such off your bandwidth.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
