He does not have an ftp account and the only content he had is what he would have from downloading the site pages. I have never been paid for any services for designing the page.
We agreed that I would host and build the site and that once/if the business made the money to be able to do so. No contract was signed. In all honesty i would rather give him the content that have to go to court, i just dont want him to be able to get what was mine already, which i wouldnt think he would be able to anyways.
as with the remark of him owning my business name, i meant that as his dba name. I personally own my business name as a sole proprietor. I should have said HIS business name. He owns his DBA and the domain was basically hisDBAname.com . and hisDBAname.com he did purchase with his money (its just hosted on my server)
edit: and as for search engine content the site has not yet been submitted to any engine and has not even officially been set as done or fully functional

Ok. Please try to help me refocus this into items that action can be taken on.
Here's what I understand at this point:
1) You don't own the domain name
2) You don't have any ownership in the DBA
3) You are hosting this site on your own server, but don't have any payment arrangement for that service
4) You were not paid to develop any of the design, concept, functionality, or content, and you have no contract to stipulate the terms of payment even on a "sweat equity" agreement
5) You really aren't 100% sure he doesn't already have the content you are trying to protect, but you think he probably doesn't have it.

I hear you . . . but what, exactly, do you belive is "mine already"?
I'm happy to help, but need to have seriously clarity on this whole thing. Mostly, I think you are SOL, but there might me something here for you to hold on to.
