  My legitimated blog on WordPress (howthehelldidienduphere.wordpress.com) is being stolen from my WordPress site via a RSS feed and republished for money at:

  http://tripolar27.rssing.com/chan-14208491/all_p1.html

  They seem to have every post I’ve written which goes back years.

  Please block them from receiving my blog by cancelling their RSS feed. Can you also issue a takedown order?

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

  Hi there,

  We cannot block anyone from using your RSS feed. RSS feeds don’t work that way. The only way to prevent access to your RSS feed is to set your site to private.

  Additionally, only the person who owns the copyright on your content can submit a takedown request, in other words, only you can do that. We cannot submit a takedown request on your behalf.

  If you look at the main URL for that site, http://www.rssing.com/, you will see they have instructions in place how to get your content removed. Content thieves don’t do that, so you should be able to get your feed removed from that site without the need for a DMCA takedown request.
