YP.com cloning my site! Will this hurt my original content?

[jacksonmc]

Client was in an obscene YP.com contract. Now they are cloning the site I built for client, inserting the phone number that gives them credit for the leads. It's harvesting content immediately, loading pages I created just today.

Client site : http://www.shephearstmeadows.com/
YP clone: http://www.awomansway.calls.net/

Is it possible this is hurting the site's score as source of original content? Anyone know how to stop it? Thank you,

I have great success filing a DMCA with google when this happens.  The process is easy, and can be done here:

From my own experience it will take them 3 or 4 weeks to process it, but I have been successful every time.
