  Dear WordPress Staff,

  I would like to file a complain about copyright violation. Today my friends found this blog on WordPress http://linecreatorsloser.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/
  One of the images is my artwork, which the blogger stole from a private FB group that I joined. (The other images are of my colleagues in this private group and they are uncomfortable about this too)

  I think this is something against the law and regulations and I think Word press should not let this happened; I would like WordPress team to kindly remove the image within this blog and please warn this blogger. And would you please inform me how to contact this blogger because I would like to discuss with him/her about this violation.

  I am looking forward to see a prompt response in this serious issue. Should you need more information please feel free to contact me via my email

  You should first try to contact the blog owner to ask them to remove your content. You can submit a DCMA complaint but it’s best to work through this list of content theft steps first.

  I already try to find it but there is no contact point in that blog; no email link, no fb account or even blogger’s name?

  You can also report the blog by visiting the blog while logged in and clicking on the blog name on the left side of the sidebar and picking “Report Content” – but the DMCA is better as it is a must act type of notice
