Many years ago I made a website and posted it here. It because a hit and I am proud of it. It's open source under a share-alike non-commercial license. Someone took it, bought the same domain with a different extension and slammed ads on it. This has been going on for many years and I never knew what to do, we are talking pennies and it's not something I would like to get in to legal stuff to fix. I don't have neither the time or money. But if someone knew a way I could at least have this person remove the ads it would be great. Thanks! Edit: could I maybe complain to the domain hosting? I would go to the advertisers but really it's mostly just referral links bitcoin exchanges.
