People copying my portfolio site is still a huge problem, almost daily I find new examples of either copying just text or worse copying the entire website, and just edit the text and portfolio images, most of the time the sites are removed when I mail them, but sometimes there are no reactions.
Can anyone provide some resources on how to handle this problem? I use domaintools.com but I find it hard to figure out who the webhosting company is for a domain.

If you ping the domain and then run a whois on the IP address you get back, that should tell you who's hosting the site.

fwiw, doing a whois on the ip of one of my commercially hosted sites doesn't identify the hosting company at all. Sometimes the nameservers for the domain give a hint, but that's not foolproof either. I have one commecially hosted domain with dns from zoneedit.com, and I don't know how to figure out the hosting company by ping, whois, nslookup, or tracert. Tracert shows that maybe their backbone provider is quest but the last couple routers in the trace didn't have any dns name, just IP's.
If you weren't aware of it, there is a command-line whois for windows available as part of the nifty utilities in the sysinternals suite from www.sysinternals.com
