Detect their IP and 301 their requests to goatse. Or something worse, if you're bent like that. :)
Why do that to people who probably don't know 4coin is being a thief?

#53You found out the right first step yourself: Block the source IP address. Sure it will turn into a game of whack-a-mole with them changing their IP but eventually, their customers will get fed up with their downtime. Second idea: Javascript redirect all of your pages to your own subdomain. Again, its just a step in an arms race, but this would be a little too hard/expensive to take to court. You can win an arms race…
For now I have added a news post with a link to the proper site and am debating between blocking the IP or delivering a static page with a link to the proper URL or a javascript redirect to the proper site.

#58Ok, time for a reality check If you can't imagine what to do in this situation you shouldn't be running a website of this nature This type of thing can (and does) happen and it's up to you to know how to defend yourself. The others have given plenty of ideas, but I guess there are more specific things that can be done depending on their page structure/ads etc
This is just terrible advice. "You shouldn't run a website unless you know how to deal with this"... and yet the only way you would learn to deal with this is if you were running a website...
You are an idiot.

#59fragmede's comment below is [dead], but has very good advice:

Nice bit of news you added to the top, which 4co.in is putting on their own site.
One piece of advice though: Drop the goo.gl short link and link directly to http://altexplorer.net, otherwise it looks like 4co.in was 'hacked' and goo.gl is a phishing/some other sort of scam and not legit.
You should be able to pickup the 4coi.in domain as the referrer if you want metrics for how many people were using 4co.in.
