  Hello,

  Just today I discovered that my last blog post – https://cinemascrotum.wordpress.com/2017/08/07/%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b2%d1%8e-%d1%82%d1%8a%d0%bc%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%b0-%d0%ba%d1%83%d0%bb%d0%b0-the-dark-tower/ – is copied word for word without my agreement in this site – http://sinister-bg.com/2017/08/16/%d1%82%d1%8a%d0%bc%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%b0-%d0%ba%d1%83%d0%bb%d0%b0/

  As you can see the “author” didnt bother to ask for my permission or mention the origins of the text. The post doesnt even contain a simple link to my blog.

  Is there anything that can be done to remove his stolen content?

  Hi cinemascrotum1,

  Is there anything that can be done to remove his stolen content?

  sinister-bg.com is a self hosted WordPress.org site, rather than a WordPress.com site. The key differences between the two are explained here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If the stolen content was published on a WordPress.com site you could report it to us but that isn’t possible in this case. The site is separate from WordPress.com and appears to be hosted by Delta Softmedia. As it’s not hosted on WordPress.com servers, we don’t have any access or control over it.

  There is a contact form on the site, so you want to try and contact the owner directly and ask for your content to be removed.

  Best of luck with getting this sorted! I’ll keep my fingers crossed you are able to reach the owner.
