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!

This is the Google Scraper Report Form.

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

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,
