You can try reporting the site to Google who may eliminate that domain from future searches.

Good suggestion. I shall try that.

I know this subject has come up a bunch on Ravelry. It might be worth getting posting for advice there too. You could also try the hosting company for the website - sometimes if you complain that your work has been stolen, they will take the website down until the site admins comply (if they host themselves though, not so much).

Good luck, that's super annoying.

The site is hosted by hosting24.com. You can contact them here to send a DMCA takedown notice. Draft notice here.

Does the UK have an equivalent to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act? There should be some mechanism by which you can report the site. Of course, you may just be starting a game of whack-a-mole with these kinds of content farms.

(PS I've been reading your blog and I love it!)

You could also start linking back to your blog within the context of your posts. As in:

"Another happy day here at MyKnittingBlog. My grammie enjoyed the mittens I wrote about last week."

DMCA, all the way.

Another idea, multi-part blog posts that don't make a lot of sense when reblogged out of context. Also, your circle linking to each other's blogs. Rebloggers don't like having to strip out html and other maintenance.

tl: I doubt the DMCA will have much jurisdiction for a Canadian with a complaint against a domain in the UK. :)

Do they know of the posse (us) you have behind you? Seriously, we could go to the site and make known our displeasure. . .

They know I, and all the other knitting bloggers they are stealing from, are armed with two pointed pieces of metal, and it hasn't phased them.

Let us know if you want us to arrive en masse at their site and point out the error of their ways. Maybe that will faze them a bit.

I prepared an email to send their web host, but decided to give KnittingCraft.co.uk a week to comply with my request to remedy the situation. It looks like they did - the links my content was at don't work anymore.

And KnittingCraft.co.uk seems to have been shut down entirely!

But it's happened again, this time by a content farm called RoyalBlogs.co.uk. I especially love how they had the gall to put a copyright notice on the bottom of the page. How big of an idiot do you have to be to not get that cutting and pasting someone else's work doesn't entitle you to copyright?

They didn't respond to a comment I tried to post on the page telling them to take the content down (it's still "pending approval"), and I couldn't find an email address for the site, but they do have a twitter account (with 1,795 tweets and 2 followers, heh!) so I've tweeted them the link and told them to take it down. And I'm guessing that they won't last too long, just like knitting.craft.co.uk didn't. It's reassuring to know that the internet is self-policing enough to get rid of such a blatant content farm.
