I wonder since they are using his name illegally if the official site can shut it down.

We thought about that as it must be infringing Mark Knopfler's image rights but it seems that tracking it down becomes the issue. According to some of what we have read, these websites are normally hosted in eastern europe and with anonomous IP addresses. One of the perils of the internet unfortunately. Apparently all these ticket scam websites are constructed identically with just the artist details changed and have no contact details whatsoever other than e mail. We will know the next time!
