I filed a DMCA for an article on Blogger almost a week ago and Google/Blogger still has yet to remove it. I have no other way of contacting the Blogger "author" and the comments I left on the article did not get it removed either.
I filed 15 DMCAs in a day like a month ago. Two of them were for Blogger blogs. As long as you selected Blogger it should be done fast and the post should be taken down. If it was a DMCA for general search it can take up to 2 - 3 weeks from my experience. The two blogger blog posts were taken down within a day in my case.
I'm pretty sure it was for a Blogger's blogspot and I did make sure to check the Blogger option when I filed. The url that was given to me from the HP copied articles page takes me to a specific blogspot url so that's the one I used for the DMCA since my article appears right on that page. Guess I will be patient and see what the next few days brings. Nothing more I can do anyway.
Just got an e-mail from the Google team saying it is unclear if I am the authorized copywrite agent....How do I go about proving that? What exactly does that even mean?
The article on blogger contains my name and photo from my owlcation article which differs from the url and blogger name. The email they sent the notice to matches exactly the name on my owlcation article. The copywrite date of my article is before the blogger post. The blogger copied my article in such a way that at the bottom it shows my photo and author bio from HP/Owlcation. Is this the reason it is unclear? I feel like that makes it more obvious the content on the blogger site is stollen. Underneath my bio the contact author link brings you right back to Owlcation and under that they somehow were able to put in a resource link that links back to my original article.
What else am I suppose to do?
Put in this explanation and file a DMCA again. I always write a note telling them how to make sure that it is infact a copy.
I explained the photo in my original dmca, but will try adding in the other info too.
I just think it's crazy that it could be unclear when they sent the notice to an email that matches the original article author's name.

I wrote my first hub a few days ago. To my surprise, it was labelled duplicate content. I contacted Team HubPages about the matter because this was my original work. Now it turns out someone actually posted the full content on their Blogger account. I am now following up the issue and considering...

Usually I find a couple pieces of stolen article copy on different sites. Today, it's more than enough to make me comment here. HP notifies us, adds the complaint link, and the complaint file cut-paste copy but little else to build a brick wall against content thieves. For every click...

Looks like another content sniper is at work, stealing our shizz from HubPages. This so called "music news" site has sniped at least four of my Hubs and it looks like there are many other pieces pinched from my fellow music Hubbers as well. If you've written any Hubs about music (any kind...

I haven't tried to have a plagiarized page removed from Google search since the change to the niches. How do we prove ownership if we no longer have access to webmaster tools for our pages? My recent request was rejected on this basis:'Thanks for reaching out to us.It is unclear to us whether or...
