  My blog is on WordPress.com and the stolen material is on WordPress.org. The following site has stolen 10 blog posts (copywritten material including photos and written material). They did not request permission and they do not give credit. Their entire blog is made up of stolen posts from other blogs. Please tell me how to address this. I have tried to contact the site owner without success. I posted a comment on the blog clearly stating that my material must be removed, but no response. My stolen posts can be found at:

  http://iheartfoodrecipies.com/?p=337
  http://iheartfoodrecipies.com/?p=325

  Please tell me how to address this. When I tried reporting with the WordPress.com form I received the message that the reported abuse was on WordPress.org. However, I can’t log on and report to WordPress.org because I publish on wordpress.com. Help, please!
  Thank you,

  Since the site is not hosted on WordPress.com, you will need to contact that site’s hosting provider and file a copyright claim against them.

  It looks like the domain iheartfoodrecipies.com is hosted at GoDaddy. This page explains the process to file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice against them:
