  I’d like to notify WordPress that a UK website using the WordPress platform is infringing my copyright. This website is DWP Examination: https://dwpexamination.wordpress.com/
  I have asked this website to stop using my copyrighted material but they have not responded to my email and have continued to post new stories. I run a disability news service and fund my work with subscriptions from websites that pay me to use my content. Websites like this one that take my content for free are putting my livelihood at risk. DWP Examination are cutting and pasting complete news stories from my website and reposting them on their own site, albeit with a credit to my site, which is Disability News Service. I would be grateful if WordPress could take prompt action to ensure that this website DWP Examination stops these serious breaches of my copyrighted material. Thanks very much. John Pring, editor, Disability News Service

  Hi Rootjosh
  Thanks, but that won’t do the trick will it, because this is a UK site, the content is from a UK site (mine), and I’m a UK citizen, so this is a UK copyright issue.
  I’m requesting WordPress to take some action on this please.
  Best wishes
  John

  the fact that it is a UK site does not change anything. We are a US company is this is a US law.

  Please just use the form I linked to previously.
