This really pisses me off and is a very clear violation of the GNU FDL. They
not only failed to credit the Wikipedia article as the source but then they
try to pretend that they own the copyright! This is legally and morally
wrong.
Since you are actually one of the authors you are on very good footing to
complain.
First, list the website at:
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sites_that_use_Wikipedia_for_conten…
Then write them a letter:
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Standard_GFDL_violation_letter
If they stonewall you after a letter and a follow-up letter, then come back
to
the list and we will discuss what to do next.

Good plan to start but wouldn't it be appropriate to send their ISP a DCMA
art 512 takedown
request in a few days?
