Stolen Content/Copyright Violation
-
My website has been completely copied word for word and passed off as another WordPress.com site. http://peistormnewsupdates.wordpress.com
My website does have a copyright notice posted, but obviously it was voilated.
I have emailed the user asking him to remove all content but the email has gone unanswered.
What else can I do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Report the site to Staff.

Hi there,
The DMCA process @timethief linked to above is the only way to remove content that violate copyright from WordPress.com. We cannot help with this via the forum, so I’m closing this thread. Please follow the proccess as outlined at that link.
