Does this also include blog owners of "Wordpress <i>powered</i>" blogs? (i.e., Are You Riled Up? - is proudly powered by WordPress MU running on Local Ferret. Create a new blog and join in the fun!
Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS).) If "wordpress" isn't part of the URL, does that mean that staff have no say about the legalities of the site in question?

I ask this because these sites

and
http://bailout.trippinpipe.com/bushreich-to-congress-pass-the-bailout-or-martial-law/
Have been stripping content from other people's blogs.
"Mu" was running other "Wordpress powered" sites this year and stripping content, but got shut down. He/she is up and running again.

We have to be careful with informal reports because the blogger in question might have permission to publish that material, or might have obtained it from a different source. We generally need to give the blogger a chance unless we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice or have additional verifiable information.

Also please bear in mind that staff have more information available to them, including correspondence with the blog owner.

I write with quite unique sentences in my articles so I was entirely certain that if I did a google search, only my article would appear. Lo and behold about 20 pages with my text popped up, mainly other bloggers using snippets of my work with one or two photos and a credit. Whilst none of them ever contacted me in the first instance, I had no objections. I was just a bit annoyed that this one site copied the whole lot with no credit, but I left a stern comment at the bottom of the article and redirected people to my original page.

I found a website where somebody copied all my text verbatim (it was a travel article) and all my photos (including a photo which included a portrait of myself!) I wrote countless times to the owner of the website, but didn't once receive a reply, so my plagerised page still remains there. Sadly it wasn't plagerised on a wordpress related website.

Thanks for the fast support. I just gor an email indicating that the blogpost has been removed from that blog.

@lettershometoyou
Even I was looking into the other posts of that blog. Most of the images used are hotlinked from other blogs without any attribution.

So I was just thinking that is deleting a single post a solution?
