Google claims that there is "Almost Nothing" a competitor can do to affect your rankings with them. Notice how they phrase this as "Almost Nothing".
302 hijacking is just one of the ways that a competitor can effect your rankings. Another is stealing your website content and using it on their websites.

The search engines hate duplicate content, there are documented cases of low life webmasters that will use a competitors website content on multiple URL's and then direct links from those sites to their main.

Just a guess but I bet there main intent was to get quick easy links to their main site from theme related sites, quickly with out actually having to put any effort into creating their own original content. Google's filters are efficient enough today to figure out when this happens, and they penalize everyone involved.

There are copyright laws that will protect the original website owner but this may very well take weeks or months to resolve. These ruthless people are using false Whois information, and no contact info on their websites.

While this is against most web hosting companies Terms Of Service agreement it still takes time to get in touch with the hosting company and have them pull the offending site down.

You can also report your stolen content to Google using there spam report, as well as other major search engines. They will most likely lose their Adsense accounts, that is if they are using your content with Adsense ads.

Lori's web design has put together the most complete up to date listing that I could find on Hijackings with 302 Redirects, meta refresh redirects, no follow meta tags, and other deceptive redirects, and ways to help protect yourself from these forms of attacks. Thank you Lori.

It took a few weeks after I submitted a spam report to Google before these sites went away, after they were gone I also installed a javascript that will deframe your website. So now if someone does this, atleast my site will no longer work inside their frames pages.
