I've had my content stolen a few times now. Once, they even just hotlinked to the images that formed the post. It's a real pain but luckily none of the copies gained any tractions in terms of traffic or Search Engine Rankings. In the end I just emailed them politely, which did nothing, and changed my htaccess file so the hotlinked images were replaced by big ones that said "this content is stolen". I also commented on their blogs pointing out the content was stolen.
