well at least you can look at your google analytics and see how many hits it's getting.

So, they're both hosted on MT, the 'newer' one on Grid.
My primary thought, which I think has already been stated, is that one of your tech peeps has decided to upgrade to a Grid account, using a modified address, so as to prevent too much downtime, then forgotten to redirect from the old URL.
That, or some kid is in awe of your leet skills, so has ripped you off in entiriety, to learn how you do what you do, not quite realising what a shitstorm it is that they're causing.
Or, a mis-calculated promo tactic.

Maybe what this really is is them going to war w/ you over the name.
Since they had it first, right? There's a record of their site from back in 2007...
Did they ever try to contact you over the name?
- No contact. Why would they do something that will get them sued though. Stealing a site is big...ae
- The thing is various artists is a generic term. Look at any dj mix tape...ae
- What are you talking about, nothing's "generic" when you use it as your company nameukit
- If they used the name first and that was their company name, then yeah they have a better case to claim it (although not to steal your site)ukit
- to steal your site). That's how it works in the US anyway....ukit

In other words, maybe they view themselves as the originals and you as the imposters and this is just some kind of joke on their part...

I just can't believe how fast google screwed all our indexed pages because of these guys stealing our site. I will talk more when my site is back up in the morning. Will see what google say too. Would love to hear from anyone where this has happened to them...
- I seriously doubt this same thing has happened to anyone LOL...ukit
