Jan, A person can have their own domain, or they can post their webpages on a website hosted by another person or company. If the posting person violates the written agreement with the host, complaints can be made to the host. http://www.blogspirit.com/en/index.php Contact and Terms of Service are two links at the bottom of the page. The host can remove your copied webpage(s) or force the offender to remove them. The person has already removed the Pendle Witches webpage. If there are others not yet removed, contact the host.
