  A website that uses wordpress has been ripping off my articles and pasting them onto their site. I don’t think this is fair as I spend time writing original content for my website and don’t expect this to happen. Is there anything WordPress can do?

  These are the article being used;

  http://news.footballsupportersclub.com/football/holloway-contacted-moyes-for-zaha-loan/
  http://news.footballsupportersclub.com/football/marques-casillas-wants-united-move/

  Which have both been taken off http://www.mufclatest.com.

  I cannot find out any information on the blog, there is no contact information or even a Twitter account linked to it.

  Regards,

  Paul Bienkowski

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

  This is not a WordPress.com issue as the sites are self-hosted. Please contact them directly or through their web hosts according to the DMCA guidelines.

  Only WordPress.com hosted sites are dealt with here. As a host, WordPress.com must comply with the DMCA, but self-hosted versions of WordPress are not the responsibility of WordPress nor WordPress.com. I know it’s confusing. Sorry.
