Is there a way to detect where some other site is stealing your content and

bandwidth? I have this silly poorly done QTVR crawfish object movie on my site

and its .mov file gets a *lot* more hits than the corresponding html page -

which makes me think someone is hijacking it. I've used the various search

engines looking for links to my site, but have never found the culprit.


BTW, When I find the hijacker, I plan to send them a bill and sick my lawyer on

them.
