There used to be a site that would run side-by-side comparisons of a site and a copy of that site. Some of the copies were pretty blatant.

They were pretty active around 2005. (http://web.archive.org/web/20050211143916/http://www.pirated...)

It's _always_ been a common thing. Stuff like Google analytics just makes it way easier to tell that they're actually copying _you_.
