I don’t know what you mean by target. Test your Theme to make sure that it is updated and hasn’t been hacked. And update WordPress. Talk to your web host to see if the problem is on their end. Check your Plugins. Maybe the problem is there. There are a lot of possibilities.

As for the rest, I have no idea. I can’t help you beyond this. You signed up with them. Don’t like them, change. Wish I could do more, but this might not involve WordPress.

There is NO benefit from those who steal your content. Google’s new PageRank algorithm contains something called “TrustRank”, which we will see more of in the future. If a site deemed “poor” or suspicious, lacking trust, links to your site, you could be penalized because splogs tend to link towards sites that benefit them, rather than the other way around. This is something that is still confusing, but who links to who now carries weight, even dead weight.

Trust me, you get nothing from those idiots.

Depends upon which law goes after you. If the law that pursues the issue has laws against freedom of speech and libel that doesn’t protect blog comments as free speech, then you’re in a bind. In the United States, legal decisions have been made that make comments on blogs the responsibility of the commenter not the blog owner or administrator. They also give you the right to delete or edit comments to be in line your whatever your comment policy is, and your perspective. I expect this to get more coverage in the courts in the future, unfortunately, as blog conversations come under more scrutiny.

And what if someones writes something that get you into trouble with the LAW who content is it than?
