How can you report a wordpress blog?
-
Ok. I want to report someone wordpress because they copied mine. First it started very cool. Cool friends and etc… then he asked if you can do me a header. We were friends so surely I said yes! Then I did it on Photoshop. To get to the point I did the header. I put all the things he wanted. I didn’t put By: Spy Bouncer because I was going to take a Print Screen so he can see if he likes it. Then I upload it then I show it to him. He say it was good. Then I start did editing it to make it better. Then I put By: Spy Bouncer http://spybouncer.wordpress.com I put it for credits. Then I save it and upload it. He said “I dont want you to put by:spybouncer” You suck! I say I want credits. To the point his blog is http://icexenon.wordpress.com . He has a Club Penguin header because that site is for CP. As you can see same as http://paintboy100.wordpress.com site. Which all mods know his site. So can you please do something? Or delete his site?
Thanks,
Spy Bouncer -

timetheif: considering the fact that I’m 15 and nobody I know would be caught dead playing Club Penguin, I would say that he’s not over 13.

I guarantee most at the club penguin forum are 50-year-old men. At least he has Photoshop. I have Paint. Eh,

The only buttons available on the top right hand corner of the front of our blogs are “report as spam” and “report as mature”. In the case of “spam” or “mature” contents we find this in the FAQs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/ive-seen-a-blog-with-unsuitable-content-how-do-i-tell-you/
And, obviously these are not appropriate in this case.In the case of copyright issues these two links do apply http://wordpress.com/complaints/
http://automattic.com/dmca/In the case of a person who is under the age of majority; they require parental assistance.

Further note: On the front of our blogs on the top left hand corner we have a “support” link. This is the same link we find on the top right hand corner of any admin side blog page. It’s also the same link as the one we find at the top of this forum and at the bottom as well. Support hours are weekdays between 9-5PM Pacific time. And this is the only time that the links in question are operational http://wordpress.com/contact-support/I repeat that when copyright is the issue these are the relevant links In the case of copyright issues these two links do apply http://wordpress.com/complaints/
http://automattic.com/dmca/Also note that as the header here http://xboxsome.wordpress.com/ contains images that were not created by xboxsome. They are not xboxsome copyrighted images.

Thank you for the correction. I must be blind not to have seen that. I do have a Q for you, you seem well versed in copyrights.
What about intellectual property copyrights? If a piece of intellectual property is altered in some manner (think patents) say like improving the piece through digital alterations does this not superceed the copyright? As in, like a patent, it becomes the intellectual property of the person altering the property (and I do mean in a significant way, not just contrast adjustments or adding a few simple color changes)?
Just a thought from my fevered mommy brain…

To the original poster:
You made a deal to make the guy a header. You made the header. He used the header. Now you want him to change it and you want to force him to comply with a rule you made up AFTER you gave him the header, a rule that wasn’t part of the original deal. You basically don’t have a leg to stand on. It would be nice for him to do you a favour, but if he’s not going to do it, there is NO WAY you can force him to do it.

I was actually asking your opinion on it as by laws here in Canada intellectual property is treated like a patent that can be open to alterations and repatented under that law as the altering party’s own intellectual property. Or so the law seems. Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out!
