Not sure if this suggestion will be helpful, but if those reports are
graphics on your site, I'd add a huge watermark to them, if they are not
images, maybe you should consider converting them to images with a
watermark, and a link offering to send more detailed reports to prospective
clients upon request.

FYI, there looks to be hundreds of instances of people just copying  
our proprietary reports and claiming the content as their own.  You  
see, I'm paying an engineer's salary to write performance reports and  
tuning tips, with the whole point to have unique content for our  
website.  If dozens of people just copy the content without  
attribution and pretend its their own, then it dilutes the content's  
value.

&@(#&#.

Now I am wishing for a service to help get this stuff pulled.  It  
looks like there's a process at the bigger blogging services for  
handling plagarism, but with individual web sites I'm on my own.
