Report sites that use SE content without following attribution rules here

While searching for answers to my question I came across http://www.www.dektak.com/

The particular page is a scrape of this question but without the required attribution and it looks like this:

picture of dektak stealing Stack Exchange content and name

Is this OK with Stack Exchange? Is there anything that can be done?

@MartijnPieters This is a bit more than using content, they are using the network's name as well... — yannis, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 10:50
@YannisRizos: all the more blatant, should still be reported in that thread, I think. — Martijn Pieters, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 10:53
@MartijnPieters Yes it should (if it's not already, there are already 55 answers there), but I think it also merits its own Meta q (won't be closing as a dupe). — yannis, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 10:54
"E-mail: [email protected]" - Is just one of the pieces of place-holder text on that page. — ChrisF, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 11:45
Abby is in charge of SE's "list of people to threaten." I've poked her about this post. I guess she's going to have a fun day. — Pops, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 14:57
Wait...you mean this isn't part of the StackExchange network?!! I JUST GAVE THEM MY GOOGLE LOGIN :-( — user7116, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 15:14
I like how they have the extra "www". You know, just to be sure. — Adam Lear, Commented Jul 13, 2012 at 17:16

Well, that's a jerk move!

I've added it to the list of sites that we smack periodically with our ATTRIBUTION, YO! hammer. Hope they have good helmets.
