CPA Problem: Banner & LP stolen - What can-I do?

Hey!

I'm so pissed off... My CTR on one of my best CPA campaigns has dropped massively today, and I realized that some jerk is running the exact same ad with the exact same landing page! He hasn't even changed a word and uses the exact same pictures as well. I'm outraged, 100% stealing, he didn't even try to add his own twist to it, he's gonna kill the campaign for both of us...

I guess this must happen very often, but I'd like to have advice from experienced CPA marketers on what I can possibly do to get back at him.

Probably not much I can do, but it's SO frustrating... I worked hard to get a very profitable campaign and that idiot is just stealing it from me...

I'm lost...

Thanks,
John

      Thanks for your answers, but there's something I'm not sure about.

      DMCA notices are made to battle against copyright infringements, but do i really have "rights" on a landing page and banner? I was the one who created them and first one to use them, but I don't see how I can prove it... I understand that this would work for an ebook, or some digital products, but can it really work for a stolen LP?

      By the way, when googling the domain the guy uses for redirects and prosper202 tracking, I get like 3 pages full of "Scam alerts". Hundreds of people seem to be after him for various reasons...

    Yes, A DMCA takedown notice should do it.

    Here's some interesting facts about it:

    Takedown Notice
    The DMCA has been criticized for making it too easy for copyright owners to encourage website owners to take down allegedly infringing content and links which may in fact not be infringing. When website owners receive a takedown notice it is in their interest not to challenge it, even if it is not clear if infringement is taking place, because if the potentially infringing content is taken down the website will not be held liable. The Electronic Frontier Foundation senior IP attorney Fred von Lohmann has said this is one of the problems with the DMCA.[18]

    In most cases it's part of the affiliate game. I got a couple of my own landing pages stolen. Not to mention ad copies/headlines/ad images
