   I was on one of your sites. This particular site (house.otavo.tv/) has posted an article taken from Buddy TV and have not given credit to the author, or to Buddy TV. The author did not give permission to octavo to reprint their article. This should not be something you allow to happen and I hope it will be resolved. This is the original article:http://www.buddytv.com/articles/house/one-house-fans-plea-for-an-emm-37521.aspx. And this is the article on the otavo site:http://house.otavo.tv/one-house-fans-plea-for-an-emmy-win. Any help you can give to resolve this matter would be greatly appreciated.

   You may find this to be an issue strictly between site owners. WordPress is a software that can be used by anyone... I don't think WordPress.org has any control over the content a user chooses to post on the web.

   Perhaps you could be a good Samaritan, and drop a line to whoever you believe owns the duplicated content, and allow them to pursue it as they see fit.

   Yep this would be a matter for the copyright owner to persue. The WordPress software is a tool, and does not (indeed cannot) impose control over the users.
