Google also refers you to their Webmaster's Discussion Forum. I haven't tried this so I don't know if they respond well there.

My site has been successful in its niche, and now the quality posts I make, and take hours, even days to refine and create, are instantly stolen and posted on a scraper site under their name. The whole thing is really messed up, and Google have lost control of it. You would think it is VERY EASY to define the original content of word for word copyright infringement: Simply include in Google’s algorithm WHICH ONE WAS PUBLISHED FIRST! FFS. It is happening to me.

This has always been the case, but it only became readily apparent when RSS feeds began to dominate the scene. Feeds give spammers an easy way to rip your content. See that orange "Feed" button up in your browser bar? That's a big flashing sign that says "Please Steal My Stuff." It's a very sad situation, but it won't be changing any time soon. Machines are only so smart. What you are witnessing is the Achilles Heel of Google and all search engines –they do NOT have the ability to determine content’s original owner.

In some cases, the authorized content ranks dead last or not at all: http://www.attributor.com/morenews6.php Google has a very serious problem here and they are in denial about it. This could, down the road, cost them dearly with their devoted searchers. Sadly, this isn’t the worst that Google has done in this area.
