Website that is scraping and reposting this site's content as it's own

I stumbled on ProBible.net which appears to be scraping and reposting content from this site as its own with no link to the forum nor mention of original source. Bringing it to your attention in case not authorized. Example

It's not authorized. I have had difficulty pulling up their site reliably, if I can get contact information I will ask them to please stop.

There are limits to what we can do. We had problems with another site doing this once upon a time.

I went to their site, and had to troll around a bit before I got to the home page.
I posted a comment that they were stealing posts from B-Greek.

This is similar to automatic parsing. I used to deal with this. In this case, it is better to immediately contact the hoster than the site administrator. It is not difficult and will be more effective.
