  Hello:

  A post of mine has been scraped. Yes, it happens every day to everyone.

  My post: http://www.asianramblings.com/travel/china/mustsees-shenzhen-china/

  was reposted here: http://visitshenzhen.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/10-must-sees-in-shenzhen-china/ without attribution or permission.

  I would like to file a DMCA complaint with WordPress. They require an electronic signature, but provide no information on how to acquire said digital signature.

  Any help forum members could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  Cheers,
  Steve

  The blog you specified at http://www.asianramblings.com does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

  Yes, but I am filing a complaint <b>against</b> a WordPress.com blog. Surely, someone can be helpful?

  See point 7 of the ToS and proceed from there. (You got an autorespond because so many self-hosted bloggers post here instead of at wordpress.org.)
