The "Referer" http header is (theoretically at least) the page that the

If they have stolen your work, your first line of defence should be to
contact them and ask them to remove it. If they either say no, or just

and ask them to take action. If still nothing happens, *then* think
about contacting your lawyer (if you think it's worth it).
