  Hi, an article that was written in a newspaper was reproduced in some wordpress blogs.

  It infringes copyright and so the newspaper wishes to request the content be taken down.

  In some of the cases, the owner of the blog is not contactable and it appears they haven’t access their blog in a considerable amount of time.

  In such a case, is it possible to ask wordpress to intervene and take down the content?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
