After viewing more pages on their site it is clear that this is ALL that the "blogger" is doing - using content taken from other sites and then adding some spam links at the end of it.

How can I get this taken care of?

http://kivetasuralu.wordpress.com/ is the spam site

this is the post they stole from me
http://kivetasuralu.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/5-ways-to-prepare-your-toddler-to-be-an-older-sibling/

They've listed and linked to my blog without my permission.

'haraam' means BASTARD in Hindi & Urdu. It's a rogue site, posting feeds and entire blog posts from various bloggers. Though they have a sign up page - my blog's been linked without ever contacting me.

Is there any way I get my blog off that list? I do have Creative Commons License displayed on my blog. I tried CopyScape & GoogleAlert, but neither of them caught this site.

Is there anything I can do?

I have read carefully your link thank you again.
First I thought it was a french host, Eklablog, but google said not so :
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://id.st/ext/http://liberteegalitematernite.wordpress.com/
I hope it translate automatically to English, I cannot change settings, sorry. Just in case : it basically says that this site was hosted by a couple of servers that served to spread malvare I think.
So far, they are not showing up on my referers list tonight \o/
I will contact Eklablog tomorrow to let them know that their icon is appearing, and I think I almost figured out a way to find the damned host.
Thank you again:)

I did the change of all passwords and I'm the only user showing under "all users".
Do you think I still have to do the check re. viruses and add ins on a mac?
I checked my Chrome, nothing seemed added, I cleared the cache and datas. Could it be because of me using WordPress app on Chrome?

checking my stats and referers yesterday I have founded out that one of these referers is...my own blog address. A kind of fake one that appears exactly the same as mine in the referers section.
here it is just FYI : [removed by Staff]
When you clic on it (and please DON'T) my home page appear, maybe with a slightly smaller size, but with a "Eklablog" icon on the opened tab, and with this horrible fake video and pop up windows that would say "Don't forget to clean your mac, buddy".
I have checked the FAQ and forum, I've found a post that seemed helpful about changing my password and so on.
I did change my password and backed up all my content.
But it'S still going on today and I'm clueless about the changes in code, how to notice added code by the hackers on my pages, how to remove the bad stuff, how to change my secret keys? so that those silly guys won't be able to keep going if I do it right (and the sooner the better)
Any idea? any help out there? I'm really freaking out and feeling like I was robbed by mobsters :(
Thanks a million!
Sophie

I know we can't stop copy and paste

But Copyscape and Plagium do something worth doing.

Even though neither of them are promising to stop copy and paste.

And being in someone's cache is not stealing or publishing.

And, yes, the conversation has been going on longer than ten years -- which makes it weird that no one has done anything yet.

It was discussed on forums on several sites back around '00 or '01. Despite all of the other advances in the web since then, no one has come up with an effective way to stop C&P, nor do I expect they ever will. Probably because it would cause so many other problems.

It goes right to the core of how the web works and how content is displayed in browsers.

...except I'm not suggesting a 'spaceball.gif' option that Flikr uses, or whatever Blogger uses, both of which can be beat with a simple click. I'm suggesting something where, if someone publishes a few hundred words in the identical order I just published, maybe I could get a notice emailed to me so I can take a look. Like a proactive Copyscape.

Or, you know, something better.
