Reporting Plagiarism, how?

This site http://www.topnewssport.com/
plagiarized this article

Where is the mechanism to report this, and why isn’t it easier to find?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That site at http://www.topnewssport.com/ is not hosted here by WordPress.COM and we cannot assist with it. Any plagiarism must be reported by the person whose content was plagiarized directly to the web host. topnewssport.com is hosted by DreamHost

Granted my computer skills are lacking, but the sample page indicates that it was set up through wordpress and I guess the user payed for private hosting/domain.
Is the non-response from WordPress because they can’t do anything, or because of apathy?

I provided an accurate response.

In 90% of these cases WordPress is NOT the host. WordPress is only the software they are using. But if they’re the host you’re in a good position because WP.com staffers take an aggressive approach to thieves.

To make matters worse, he/she is

2. not paying the writers
3. garbling some of the words in the articles in such a way that we are getting calls from angry interviewees and writers.There is no contact on the offending website, so I am reaching out to you for direction.
The offending website is
