How do I remove footer ‘Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com.’ Do I have to pay to do this? If I purchase the premium or business, will I be able to remove?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If I purchase the premium or business, will I be able to remove?
The answer is no.
Removal of the top Admin bar and/or footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation that results in blog suspension and there is no upgrade that changes that.
Terms of Service:
11. Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsThough removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme, and that you are hosting your site yourself is not allowed under the Terms of Service, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS, if you have purchased the Business bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ or Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ of upgrades, as they contain the Custom Design upgrade.
Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or you can include a copyright notice.

Why can wordpress.org users delete it and we can´t?
They are using the same theme and WP too. The only difference is that they are not using wordpress.com as their host.
I don´t understand why I am paying you for a service and still have to have an add for your site on my page….
It makes my site look less professional than any wp.org site which is sad imo
