    One thing I forgot to mention:

    WIPO deal with disputed domains, but mostly with cases of "cybersquatting" and "cyberpiracy".

    The usual style of this activity is to register domain names for organisations that have a trade name, corporation or trade marked product, then try to sell it to them at an extortionate fee.

    I do recall that the USA passed Federal legislation against cybersquatting, but I am afraid that I do not know the details. It does seem to me that this sort of business stealing might be covered though?

    As there is no officially registered business, the case is not clear cut. Certainly traditional fraud and trading laws most probably do not apply.

    My personal approach would be to register another domain (with a reputable organisation) and canvass my customer base. Advising them of the facts, and only the facts. I would not use emotive and possibly libellous/slanderous terms such as "theft" or "fraud".

    If you have generated any customer loyalty, and your customers are fair minded individuals, you will at least retrieve your business in the meantime.
