Response to Original message
6. Contact his site host, preferrably with proof that yours is original
work if you can, and tell them about it. If he's taking your original work, that's a copyright violation and you can explain that you contacted him and what his response was. If he openly admitted to you that he lifted the stuff and is in effect blackmailing you provide that also, forward emails etc to the provider/site host.

The videos: if they themselves are copyrighted material (TV shows, for ex.) that you really don't own and may not have gotten permission from the copyright owner to host on your site, well that may be questionable.

Run a whois on his site and see who you can contact. Usually site hosts have rules about not having others' copyrighted material without permission.

Anyway, that's one way to go...other than that there are legal remedies. But again, you need to be the lawful owner or approved by the copyright owner for the material on your site that he took.
