Another site copied my content word for word. Whats the best way to handle or report this?

I work at CloudHashing and created a Bitcoin 101 and glossary for the site. - https://cloudhashing.com/bitcoin-101

The content was written by my team members and I, so it's all unique content.

This site recently popped up and scraped all of our content - http://www.pacifichashing.com/bitcoin-class-101/   (It looks like they are located in Hong Kong- I'm not positive though)

How will this affect us and will it benefit their site to copy our content?

What's the best way to handle situations like this?

Should I report this? If so, how?

It sucks to see something my team and I worked really hard on to have it scraped by a competitor. Thanks in advance for any help!

Depending on how quickly you want the scraped content taken down you could file a DMCA request. (This is the FAQ's page about it. http://www.dmca.com/FAQ/What-is-a-DMCA-Takedown). It's not cheap, but I've heard they are as fast as they claim, though I have no personal experience with it.

I would also check out this site: http://archive.org/web/ It stores pages on the web. Assuming your pages were stored on there, you could (possibly) prove that your content was the original source.

Best,

Take a screenshot and email the owners directly to take it down. Along with what Richard said, report to Bing and Yahoo.
