Content Thieves Still Thriving

Just a gripe. As some of you may remember, I took my blog off Google Search engines years back when I found out content scrapers were filching my posts and uploading them onto their own sites. When I took my blog off Search engines, it stopped them getting access to my newer stuff, but they still retained all the older posts they'd already pilfered from me. 
Back when I had initially reported to blogger that they had stolen my content, I was informed that it was ME who had to PROVE it was my original content, and since some of my posts are captures/scans from dramas and magazines, they said it WASN'T mine and had no claim!  So my only option was to take my blog off the search engine. and keep my content away from thieving eyes...
So, the other day I was online and came across one of the sites and saw that it was STILL very much up and running. Taking a look at it, and of COURSE, their Top Posts were MINE that they had stolen. 
How ironic!. Because of them I had to remove my blog from Search Engines so I get no views but THEIR pages continue to thrive and get hits off of my work...
Very sad because I had a lot of traffic in the old days and met lots of new j-drama fans... nowadays there are only a handful of folks who ever see my site. For those six or seven folks who have continued to follow me and check out my posts (and you know who you are) , a BIG ARIGATOO!
