Removal of WordPress.com Blog Due to Copyright Infringement
-
Hello, I’m hoping someone can help. My client hired a company (whom they can no longer reach) to create some pages to help with their SEO ranking in Google. These pages were first created in late 2014. The company now needs those pages to be removed because they are a financial company and are now under legal obligation to meet compliance requirements, which those pages created for SEO purposes do not meet. Those pages use my client’s logo and old content that is no longer compliant, so we need to remove those pages. They have no idea how to contact the person that created the WordPress.com blog. Is there a way we can prove they are the legal owner of the logo and content so it can be removed? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this blog and/or content? Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
